extractable

/ɛkstɹˈæktəbəl/ adj

Capable of being extracted.

Word Origin Extractable comes from Latin ex- 'out' and trahere 'to pull' — literally 'able to be pulled out.' The root trahere gives us a whole family: attract (pull towards), distract (pull apart), contract (pull together), subtract (pull from below), and tractor (a puller). So extractable describes something that can be drawn out, like a tooth or a resource.
