rotatable

/ɹoʊtˈeɪɾəbəl/ adj

Having the ability to rotate.

Word Origin Rotatable comes from Latin 'rota' meaning wheel — so something rotatable can spin like a wheel. The root 'rot-' gives us rotate, rotation, rotor, and even round (via the same PIE root *ret-). The suffix -able means 'capable of', so rotatable is literally 'wheel-able'. You can almost see the axle turning.

The office chair is fully rotatable, allowing easy access to all parts of the desk.
