floodable

/flˈʌdəbəl/ adj

able to be flooded

Word Origin 'Flood' from Proto-Germanic 'flōdaz' meaning flowing water, and -able from Latin 'habilis' meaning 'apt, suitable'—so floodable means capable of being flooded. The root 'flood' gives us floodgate, floodlight, and floodplain. The -able suffix is widely used to indicate capability.
