wieldable

/wˈildəbəl/ adj

Capable of being wielded.

Word Origin Wieldable is wield + -able, meaning 'able to be wielded.' Wield comes from Proto-Germanic waldan 'to rule, control,' and the PIE root *h₂wel- also gives us will, willing, and willpower. The -able suffix is from Latin habere 'to have, hold,' which also gives us habit, able, and habitable. So wieldable means something you can handle or control, like a tool that fits your grip.
