Exportable

/ɪkˈspɔr.tə.bəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be sent and sold to other countries, usually referring to goods or products.

Etymology

From 'export' (from Latin 'exportare') + '-able' (capable of being). The root means 'to carry out,' and the suffix indicates something can be done.

Kelly Says

Not all products are equally exportable—bananas from Ecuador travel well, but fresh sushi needs speed. Climate, distance, and shipping costs mean some countries naturally export some things more than others.
