Floggable

/ˈflɒɡəbl̩/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being flogged or beaten; worthy of flogging.

Etymology

From 'flog' (from Dutch 'floggen' or a native formation) plus the suffix '-able' (meaning capable of being).

Kelly Says

The '-able' suffix is so productive that you can technically add it to almost any verb, but 'floggable' reminds us that English has always been shaped by the violent realities of history—corporal punishment was once routine.
