coverable

Able to blanket

Coverable describes something that can be covered—either physically or figuratively.

A distance is coverable if it can be traversed: The remaining miles were easily coverable before dark.

In insurance and journalism, coverable refers to what qualifies for coverage: a coverable expense, a coverable story.

The word is functional but unremarkable, appearing mainly in technical or administrative contexts.
