inducible
Able to trigger
Inducible describes something that can be induced—brought about, caused, or triggered by specific conditions.
The term appears most often in biology and medicine: an inducible enzyme is one whose production increases in response to a particular substance, and inducible gene expression can be switched on experimentally.
Outside technical contexts, inducible simply means capable of being induced.
