About Passible

It’s easy to mistake the homophones “passible” and “passable”; there is only one letter of difference in spelling, and they are both adjectives. While “passible” is rooted in Christian theology and means “susceptible to heightened sensation and intense emotion,“ “passable” means “just good enough to be acceptable; satisfactory” or describes a route that is “clear of obstacles and able to be traveled along or on.”

Did you Know?

This word stems from Middle English and comes from the Old French “passible.” It is a direct descendant of the Late Latin “passibilis,” meaning “capable of feeling or suffering.”
