Transfertable

Transfertable is an adjective used to describe something that can be transferred from one holder, location, or system to another. It denotes the feasibility and often the legality of a transfer across contexts, including physical goods, digital assets, rights, or information. The term is less common in standard English; transferable is the preferred form. Transfertable appears in multilingual contexts or as a coined term in technical or legal writing.

The term likely derives from transfer plus the English suffix -able, with possible influence from the French transférable. In practice, usage centers on items or rights designated as transférable, such as licenses, tokens, or data objects that can be moved, reassigned, or reallocated without changing their nature.

Applications include contracts that specify which assets are transfertable, data governance policies that designate which records are transfertable between systems, and blockchain or asset-tracking contexts where tokens or rights are marked transfertable to enable transfer between parties. In each case, the key property is that the subject can be externally transferred while preserving its identity and ownership chain, subject to applicable rules.
