extinguishable
Able to douse
Extinguishable describes something that can be put out or ended.
A fire is extinguishable if it can be doused; a debt is extinguishable if it can be paid off.
The word often appears in contrast with what cannot be stopped: Unlike her extinguishable anger, his resentment smoldered for years.
