snappable

Able to break

Snappable describes something that can be snapped—broken with a sharp crack, or fastened with a snap closure.

A dry twig is snappable; so is a plastic component designed to snap into place: The snappable lid clicks securely onto the container.

In software contexts, snappable elements can lock to a grid or guideline when dragged nearby.
