Gressible

/ˈɡrɛsəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of walking or moving by walking; able to walk.

Etymology

From Latin 'gressus' (a step, walking) + -ible (capable of), where 'gressus' comes from 'gredi' (to go/walk).

Kelly Says

Gressible is practically obsolete, but it belongs to a whole family of motion words from Latin 'gradi'—impressive, progress, regression—all built on the root for walking.
