guidable

/ɡˈaɪdəbəl/ adj

Capable of being or willing to be guided

Word Origin From Frankish *wītan 'to show the way,' which comes from the PIE root *weyd- 'to see, to know.' The idea is that guiding is helping someone see the way. The same root gives us wit (knowing), wise, vision, and video — all about seeing and knowing. Guidable simply adds -able, meaning 'able to be guided.' The connection between seeing and knowing is ancient: to see is to know.
