salvable
Able to recover
Salvable describes something that can be saved, rescued, or recovered from damage, loss, or destruction.
The term applies to physical objects like shipwrecked cargo, damaged goods, or failing businesses, as well as abstract things like relationships or reputations.
The insurance adjuster determined which items were salvable after the fire.
It shares meaning with salvageable, though salvable is less common in everyday speech.
