prosecutable

/ˈpɹɑsɪkˌjutəbəɫ/ adj

Able to be prosecuted.

Word Origin Prosecutable is built on Latin 'pro-' 'forward' and 'sequi' 'to follow' — so to prosecute is literally 'to follow forward,' to pursue a case. The -able suffix makes it 'able to be prosecuted.' The same root 'sequi' gives us 'sequence' (a following), 'persecute' (to follow persistently), and 'execute' (to follow out, carry out). The secut- form is the past participle stem of sequi.
