congestible

/kəndʒˈɛstᵻbəl/ adj

Liable to become congested

Word Origin From Latin com- 'together' and gerere 'to carry' — congest literally means 'to carry together,' to pile up. Congestible means capable of being piled up, like traffic. The root gerere is a carrier: it gives us digest (carry apart, break down), suggest (carry under, hint), gesture (a carrying of the body), and belligerent (carrying war). The breakdown con+gest+ible shows the prefix, root, and suffix.
