Expoundable

/ɪkˈspaʊndəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be explained, interpreted, or set forth in detail.

Etymology

From expound + -able (adjective suffix meaning 'able to be'). Expound comes from Latin exponere (to set out), same root as expose.

Kelly Says

Not everything is expoundable—some things are too vague, contradictory, or poorly understood to be clearly explained. This word assumes that with the right effort, something *can* be clarified.
