loanable

Able to borrow

Loanable describes something available or suitable for lending.

The term appears most often in economics, where loanable funds refers to money available in financial markets for borrowing: The supply of loanable funds increases when people save more.

Outside technical contexts, the word is rare—people simply say something can be loaned or is available to borrow.
