droppable

Able to fall

Droppable describes something that can be dropped—either physically released or removed from consideration.

In computing and interface design, a droppable element is one that can receive items dragged onto it: The folder icon becomes droppable when you hover over it.

In scheduling or planning contexts, droppable items are expendable: We need to identify which features are droppable if we run out of time.
