ottenibile

Ottenibile is an Italian adjective meaning capable of being obtained or achieved; obtainable. It is used to describe objects, conditions, data, or goals that can be acquired under certain circumstances or within given limits. The term emphasizes practical feasibility rather than mere possibility.

Etymology: Ottenibile is formed from the verb ottenere (to obtain) with the suffix -ibile, which conveys “able to be.” The verb ottenere itself derives from Latin obtinēre, through the development of Italian, combining ob- and tenēre (to hold).

Usage and nuances: In everyday and technical language, ottenibile is used to indicate that something can be procured, granted, or reached. Examples include: Il documento è ottenibile entro la fine del mese. (The document is obtainable by the end of the month.) I dati sono ottenibili previa autorizzazione. (The data are obtainable with authorization.) The word carries a sense of feasibility given proper conditions or efforts, rather than theoretical possibility alone.

Related terms: Ottenibilità (noun) denotes the quality or possibility of being obtained. Ottenere (verb) is the root meaning “to obtain.” Synonyms include raggiungibile, disponibile, and accessibile, depending on context. A common opposite construction is non ottenibile or non raggiungibile, while inottenibile is rare and generally archaic or stylistically marked.
