tetherable

Able to fasten

Tetherable describes something capable of being tethered—tied, connected, or bound to something else.

The term appears most often in technology contexts, where a tetherable device can share its internet connection with another: Is your phone tetherable to a laptop?

Physical objects that can be secured by a cord or strap are also tetherable.
