arguable

/ˈɑɹɡjuəbəɫ/ adj

Open to doubt, argument or debate.

Word Origin From Latin arguere 'to make clear, prove' — so arguing was originally about shining light on a matter, making it clear. That's why arguable means something can be debated or proven. The same root gives us argue, argument, and even argent (silver, literally 'the shining metal'), all from the PIE root *arg- 'to shine, be bright.'
