limitable

/lˈɪmɪɾəbəl/ adj

Able to be limited.

Word Origin Limitable comes from Latin limit- 'boundary, path' (originally a path between fields). So limitable means 'able to be bounded.' The root gives us limit, limitation, delimit, and even eliminate (to put out of bounds, ex- + limin-). The related word subliminal is from sub- 'under' + limin- 'threshold' — below the boundary of consciousness. Limitable is straightforward: something that can have limits set.
