Able to be expunged, erased, or removed completely, especially referring to records or information.
From 'expunge' + '-able', meaning capable of being erased. 'Expunge' comes from Latin 'expungere' (ex- 'out' + pungere 'to prick or point'), literally meaning 'to mark out by pricking'.
The word 'expungeable' is increasingly important in legal contexts—criminal records, medical histories, and digital information are now debated as 'expungeable' or not, making this technical term central to modern justice and privacy discussions.
