corrigabel

Corrigabel is a rarely used English adjective meaning capable of being corrected, amended, or repaired. It is an uncommon variant spelling of corrigible or corrigable and is not widely listed in standard dictionaries. The form likely reflects the Latin root corrigere, meaning to correct.

In practice, corrigable concepts appear in several fields. In software engineering and data management, an object, dataset, or system described as corrigable is designed to be updated or patched after release, with mechanisms for applying corrections without breaking compatibility. In publishing and document management, corrigable texts are those that can be amended in subsequent editions or amendments, with corrigenda issued to document changes. In regulatory or quality-control contexts, corrigable processes are those that can be adjusted in response to identified flaws.

In artificial intelligence, the closely related term corrigibility (or corrigible AI) denotes a property whereby a system remains amenable to human oversight and intervention and does not resist external corrections. While corrigabel can be used similarly in informal writing, most usage favors corrigible or corrigable to describe such attributes.

Etymology: from Latin corrigere (“to correct”) + -able. See also corrigible, corrigendum, corrigibility, corrigenda.
