Educatable

/ˈɛd.ju.keɪ.tə.bəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being educated; susceptible to teaching and learning.

Etymology

From educate (from Latin educare) + -able (capable of). A variant form of 'educable' that emphasizes the action of educating rather than the innate capacity.

Kelly Says

English oddly has both 'educable' and 'educatable'—educable stresses inherent capacity while educatable stresses the process, mirroring a debate in education: are students born ready to learn, or do they become ready through exposure?
