correctible

/kɚɹˈɛktᵻbəl/ adj

Alternative spelling of correctable.

Word Origin The word correct comes from Latin 'regere' meaning 'to lead straight' — so when you correct something, you're literally straightening it out. The intensive prefix com- (here cor-) adds force: 'to make completely straight.' That's why correctible means 'able to be set right,' and the same root gives us direct, rectify, and even rectangle (a shape with right angles).
