accusable

/əˈkjuːzəbl/ adj

Liable to be accused or censured; chargeable with a crime or breach; blamable

Word Origin From Latin 'ad-' (to) and 'causa' (cause, lawsuit) — literally 'to call to account.' Accusable means able to be accused. The root 'causa' gives us cause (reason), because (by cause), excuse (out of cause, to free from blame), and recuse (to reject a judge for cause). So the legal world is built on 'causa'.
