atonable

/ætˈoʊnəbəl/ adj

Capable of being atoned for.

Word Origin A beautiful Old English compound: æt 'at' and ān 'one' — literally 'at one.' To atone is to bring things into unity, to reconcile. Atonable means something can be made 'at one' again. The word atone itself was formed from the phrase 'to be at one,' and it's a great example of how a simple preposition and number fused into a profound concept. Related: atonement, atoner. The same 'one' root gives us only, alone, and once.
