triggerable
Able to initiate
Triggerable describes something that can be triggered—activated, set off, or initiated by a specific condition or action.
The term appears in technical contexts: a triggerable alarm, a triggerable event in software.
It can also describe emotional responses: His anxiety is easily triggerable by crowds.
The word emphasizes potential activation rather than current state.
