circumscribable

Able to enclose

Circumscribable describes something that can be enclosed within a boundary or limited in scope.

In geometry, a circumscribable figure is one around which a circle can be drawn touching all vertices: A regular polygon is circumscribable.

More broadly, it means capable of being defined or bounded: The problem seemed circumscribable once we identified its parameters.
