pacifiable

Able to soothe

Pacifiable describes someone or something capable of being pacified—calmed, soothed, or brought to peace.

A pacifiable crowd can be dispersed with reassurance; a pacifiable infant will eventually stop crying.

The word implies that anger or agitation, while present, isn't beyond remedy: The protesters seemed pacifiable if their demands were acknowledged.
