fortifiable

/fˈɔɹɾɪfˌaɪəbəl/ adj

That can be fortified

Word Origin Fortify comes from Latin fortis 'strong' and facere 'to make' — literally 'make strong.' Fortifiable means able to be made strong. The fort- root gives us fort, fortress, fortitude, and force (via a cousin), while facere appears in factory and fact. The breakdown fort+ify+able shows the strong-make-able structure.
