exorcisable
Able to expel
Exorcisable describes something that can be driven out or expelled through exorcism or similar effort.
The word applies literally to demons or spirits that religious rituals might banish, and figuratively to persistent troubles or unwanted influences: She wondered if her childhood fears were exorcisable or permanent fixtures of her psyche.
