condonable

/kəndˈoʊnəbəl/ adj

That can be condoned.

Word Origin Condonable comes from Latin con- 'together' and donare 'to give' — to condone is literally 'to give together,' to grant forgiveness. Add -able and it means 'able to be forgiven.' The root donare also gives us donate, donor, and pardon (from per- 'thoroughly' + donare, to give completely).
