Expressible

/ɪkˈsprɛsəbəl/ adjective

Etymology

From Latin 'exprimere' (to press out, express) plus '-ible' (capable of being). Same root system as 'expressable'.

Kelly Says

Some philosophers argue certain thoughts aren't expressible in any language—they exist in the raw experience of consciousness. This raises the question: if you can't express a thought, did you really have it?
