Forms: 1600s–1800s committible, 1600s– committable, 1700s commitable.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: commit v., -able suffix.

Etymology: < commit v. + -able suffix. Compare French commettable (1730 or earlier, now rare).With the form committible compare -ible suffix. More recent (20th-cent. and later) examples of this form are very rare and likely to show misspellings or typographical errors.

That may be committed; esp. (a) (of a sin, crime, error, etc.) liable to be perpetrated (cf. commit v. 9); (b) (of a person) liable to be detained or placed in custody; (now esp.) liable to be compulsorily detained in a psychiatric hospital (cf. commit v. 4).
