apprehensible

/ˌæpɹəˈhɛnsəbəl/ adj

Which can be apprehended (usually in the sense of being understood).

Word Origin From Latin ad- 'to' and prehendere 'to seize, grasp' — literally 'able to be grasped.' The root prehendere is about seizing with the mind or hand. That's why we have apprehend (grasp mentally or arrest), comprehend (grasp together, understand), and even prison (a place where people are seized). Apprehensible means something can be understood or grasped.
