appreciable
Large enough to matter
Appreciable describes an amount large enough to be noticed or to matter.
An appreciable difference in quality is one you can actually perceive; an appreciable sum of money is worth considering.
The word implies crossing a threshold from negligible to significant—not necessarily large, but enough to register.
