Evasible

/ɪˈveɪzəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Able to be evaded, avoided, or escaped; capable of being eluded or sidestepped.

Etymology

From 'evade' (from Latin 'evadere': 'e-' meaning out + 'vadere' meaning go/walk) plus the suffix '-ible' (able to be). This creates an adjective describing things that can be avoided.
