Fluctuable

/ˈflʌktʃuːəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of fluctuating; able to vary, change, or move back and forth.

Etymology

From 'fluctuate' plus the suffix '-able' meaning capable of or able to. This follows the standard English pattern for creating adjectives that describe what something can do.

Kelly Says

Fluctuable temperatures, fluctuable emotions, fluctuable market prices—anything that moves up and down could theoretically be called fluctuable, though most people just say 'varies' or 'changes.'
