Verriegelbare

"Verriegelbare" is an adjective in German that translates to "lockable" or "able to be locked" in English. It is used to describe something that can be secured or closed with a lock, such as a door, window, or container. The term is often used in technical, legal, or everyday contexts to indicate the presence of a locking mechanism or the ability to secure an object.

The word "verriegelbare" is derived from the verb "verriegeln," which means "to lock" or "to secure." The prefix "ver-" indicates a change of state or action, and the root "riegel" refers to a bar or a locking mechanism. The suffix "-bar" in "verriegelbare" indicates the ability or possibility of the action described by the verb.

In German, "verriegelbare" is typically used with nouns to describe their locking capabilities. For example, "eine verriegelbare Tür" means "a lockable door," and "ein verriegelbares Fenster" means "a lockable window." The adjective can also be used in more abstract contexts, such as "eine verriegelbare Datenbank" to mean "a lockable database."

The opposite of "verriegelbare" is "nicht verriegelbar," which means "not lockable" or "unlockable." This term is used to describe objects or systems that lack a locking mechanism or cannot be secured. The use of "verriegelbare" and its opposite helps to convey the security features of various objects and systems in a clear and concise manner.
