saturableadj.

Brit.

/ˈsatjᵿrəbl/,

/ˈsatʃ(ə)rəbl/, U.S.

/ˈsætʃər(ə)bəl/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin saturabilis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin saturabilis (4th cent.) < classical Latin saturāre saturate v. + -bilis -ble suffix. Compare earlier insaturable adj.In sense 2 after saturate v. 5.

1. That can be saturated (in various senses of saturate v.).
