swayable

/swˈeɪəbəl/ adj

Capable of being swayed; whose mind can be changed.

Word Origin Swayable combines 'sway' (from Old Norse 'sveigja' — to bend, swing) with the suffix '-able' (from Latin 'habere' — to have, hold, originally meaning 'able to be held'). So it means able to be swayed. The root 'sveigja' gives us 'sway,' and 'habere' gives us 'able,' 'habit,' and 'exhibit.'
