erectable

/ɪɹˈɛktəbəl/ adj

Capable of being erected or raised up.

Word Origin From Latin e- 'up, out' and rigere 'to straighten' — so erect literally means 'to straighten up.' Erectable is 'able to be raised upright.' The root rigere (from PIE *reg- 'to move in a straight line') is a powerhouse: it gives us direct (straighten thoroughly), correct (make straight), rectangle (right angle), and even regal (kingly, ruling straight). The idea of 'straightness' runs through all of them.
