stabilizable

Able to steady

Stabilizable describes something capable of being made stable or steady.

The term appears most often in technical contexts—control theory, engineering, and mathematics—where it indicates that a system can be brought to equilibrium through appropriate intervention: The aircraft's flight dynamics are stabilizable with the right control inputs.

In everyday use, it might describe any situation that can be brought under control: The patient's condition is stabilizable.
