Capable of being handled, managed, or controlled without difficulty; manageable.
From 'handle' (Old English 'handlian,' literally 'to seize with the hand') plus the suffix '-able' (from Old French, meaning 'capable of being'), creating an adjective meaning 'able to be handled.'
The word 'handleable' is rarely used because we prefer 'manageable,' showing that English prefers Latin-based words for abstract meanings even though Germanic-based words like 'handle' are more common in speech.
