clarifiable

Able to explain

Clarifiable describes something capable of being made clearer or more understandable.

A confusing explanation is clarifiable if further discussion can resolve the ambiguity: The point was obscure but clarifiable with a few examples.

The term applies to anything that admits of clarification—muddy ideas, vague instructions, uncertain situations.
