mendable
Able to fix
Mendable describes something capable of being mended or repaired.
The word applies to physical objects like torn clothing or broken fences, but extends to abstract damage: a mendable relationship, a mendable rift between old friends.
If something is mendable, repair remains possible—the damage hasn't gone too far.
