deflectable
Able to bounce
Deflectable describes something capable of being turned aside or redirected from its course.
A deflectable projectile can be knocked off its path; a deflectable question can be dodged.
The word appears most often in technical contexts—physics, engineering, defensive systems—where the ability to redirect force or trajectory matters: The missile uses deflectable fins for guidance.
