seizable

/sˈizəbəl/ adj

Capable of being seized.

Word Origin Seizable means able to be seized. Seize comes from Old French saisir, which traces back to a Germanic root meaning 'to take possession,' related to 'seek' and 'sake' (as in forsake). The -able suffix from Latin -bilis indicates capability. So if something is seizable, you can take hold of it.
