Defectible

/dɪˈfɛktɪbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of having defects or faults; able to be defective or imperfect; vulnerable to developing flaws.

Etymology

From Latin 'defectus' plus English suffix '-ible' (able to be). The word describes the capacity or susceptibility to develop defects.

Kelly Says

In philosophy and theology, 'defectible' became important—Christian thinkers debated whether humans are inherently 'defectible' (capable of sinning) versus other properties, making it a term that bridges everyday manufacturing and deep metaphysical questions.
