sacrificeable
Fit for surrender
Sacrificeable describes something that can be given up or forfeited for a greater purpose.
The word usually applies to things deemed expendable—resources, positions, or even people considered less essential: The outer defenses were sacrificeable if it meant protecting the capital.
In chess, a sacrificeable piece is one you're willing to lose for strategic advantage.
