conquerable

/kˈɑŋkɚɹəbəl/ adj

Capable of being conquered or subdued.

Word Origin Conquerable means able to be conquered. Conquer comes from Latin con- 'completely' and quaerere 'to seek, obtain' — so to conquer is to seek something completely, to gain it by force. The root quaerere gives us inquire (seek into), require (seek again), acquire (seek to), and quest (a seeking).
