interpretable

[ɪnˈtɜː.pɹɪ.tə.bl̩] adj

Capable of being interpreted or explained.

Word Origin From Latin 'interpres' meaning 'go-between, broker' — someone who stands between parties to explain or negotiate. The breakdown inter+pret (the second part related to 'price'?) makes it clear: an interpreter is a middleman. Adding -able gives 'able to be interpreted'. The same root gives us 'interpretation' and 'misinterpret'.
