consolable

/kənˈsoʊɫəbəɫ/ adj

Able or likely to be consoled.

Word Origin Consolable comes from Latin 'solari' meaning 'to comfort' — with the prefix 'con-' (together) intensifying it. So if you're consolable, you can be comforted together with someone. The same root gives us 'solace' (comfort) and 'console' (to comfort). The breakdown con+sol+able makes it clear: able to be comforted.
