cloneable
Able to copy
Cloneable describes something capable of being cloned—duplicated to produce an exact copy.
In biology, cloneable organisms or cells can be replicated through cloning techniques.
In computing, cloneable objects or data structures can be copied programmatically: The class implements a cloneable interface.
Also spelled clonable.
Exact replica of original
- replicaFaithful scaled reproduction
- doubleTwice the amount
