rejectable
Worthy of refusal
Rejectable describes something that can be rejected—turned down, refused, or dismissed.
A manuscript may be rejectable if it fails to meet editorial standards; an offer is rejectable if the recipient has grounds to decline.
The word appears most often in contexts where acceptance or rejection follows formal evaluation: The committee found the proposal rejectable on technical grounds.
