diminishable

/dᵻmˈɪnɪʃəbəl/ adj

That may be diminished

Word Origin Built from Latin 'minuere' (to make smaller) and 'dis-' (apart), so diminish is literally to break into smaller pieces. The suffix -able makes it 'able to be diminished.' The same root gives us minimal, minimize, and minority. The PIE root *mei- means small, also in 'minute' and 'mince'.
