discussable

Open for debate

Discussable describes something that can be discussed—a topic open to conversation or debate rather than off-limits.

Some matters are too sensitive, too settled, or too taboo to be discussable in certain contexts: Whether to expand the team is discussable; whether to pay employees is not.
