obtainable

/əbˈteɪnəbəɫ/ adj B1

able to be obtained

Word Origin Obtainable is from obtain + -able, meaning 'able to be gotten.' Obtain comes from Latin ob- 'toward' and tenere 'to hold' — literally 'to hold toward oneself,' to grasp something. The root tenere is a powerhouse: it gives us contain (hold together), maintain (hold by hand), retain (hold back), and tenant (one who holds land). So obtainable things are within your grasp.
