increasable

/ɪŋkɹˈisəbəl/ adj

Able to be increased.

Word Origin From Latin 'crescere' 'to grow', with 'in-' intensifying it — so increase is literally 'to grow into' something larger. Increasable then means 'able to be grown'. The same root gives us crescent (the growing moon), crescendo (a gradual increase in music), and even create (to bring into being, from the same PIE root *ker- meaning to grow). The -able suffix is from Latin -abilis.
