interruptible

/ˌɪntɝˈɹəptɪbəɫ/ adj

Able to be interrupted.

Word Origin Interrupt comes from Latin 'inter' 'between' and 'rumpere' 'to break' — literally 'to break between'. Interruptible means 'able to be interrupted'. The root 'rumpere' gives us erupt (break out), corrupt (break together), bankrupt (broken bank), and disrupt (break apart). So interruptible is 'break-between-able'.
