resistible
Able to withstand
Resistible describes something that can be resisted or withstood—the opposite of irresistible.
The word appears almost exclusively in contexts where irresistible is the expected term: The dessert was, surprisingly, resistible.
This makes it slightly humorous or pointed, suggesting something fails to compel: Her charms proved resistible after all.
