constrainable

/kənstɹˈeɪnəbəl/ adj

Capable of being constrained.

Word Origin From Latin 'constringere' 'to bind together tightly' — con- 'together' + stringere 'to draw tight'. Constrainable means able to be constrained. The root stringere gives us strict, stringent (tight, rigorous), astringent (drawing tight, like a taste), and restrict (draw back). The idea is of pulling something tight to limit it.
