dissectable
Able to cut
Dissectable means capable of being dissected—cut apart for examination or analysis.
The word applies literally to biological specimens: The preserved frog was still dissectable after months in formaldehyde.
It extends to anything that can be broken down and analyzed piece by piece: The argument was easily dissectable into its flawed assumptions.
