controllable
Able to steer
Controllable describes something that can be managed, regulated, or kept in check.
A controllable temper can be reined in when necessary.
Controllable variables in an experiment are those the researcher can manipulate.
The word often implies effort—something controllable isn't automatically under control, just capable of being brought there.
