单词 admittable
释义 admittable, a.|ædˈmɪtəb(ə)l|
Also 5–7 admittible.
[f. prec. + -able. The earlier admittible follows the analogy of credible, etc., repr. L. forms in -ibilis; but admittibilis is not found, and the late L. was admissibilis. See admissible and -ble.]
Formerly = admissible, but now limited more closely to the literal sense of admit: Capable of being admitted to a place or as a fact.
