passable

Good enough, barely

Passable describes something adequate but not exceptional—good enough to get by without being impressive: The food was passable, nothing more.

The word also means able to be crossed or traveled through: The mountain roads are barely passable in winter.

A passable imitation might fool someone who isn't paying close attention.
