fortifiable
Able to reinforce
Fortifiable describes something capable of being fortified—strengthened against attack or made more secure.
A position is fortifiable if defenses can be built there: The hilltop was easily fortifiable.
The term extends to anything that can be reinforced or enhanced: fortifiable foods can have nutrients added, fortifiable arguments can be made stronger with additional evidence.
