Experiencible

/ɪkˌspɪəriənˈsɪbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being experienced; possible to perceive or become aware of through sensation or observation.

Etymology

From 'experience' plus the Latin suffix '-ible' (variant of '-able,' from '-ibilis'). Both '-able' and '-ible' mean capable of, though '-able' is more common in modern English.

Kelly Says

The difference between 'experienceable' and 'experiencible' is purely etymological—'experienceable' uses the English-friendly '-able' while 'experiencible' sounds more Latinate and scholarly. Both mean the same thing.
