workable
Able to function
Workable describes something that can be made to work or function adequately.
A workable solution may not be ideal but gets the job done: We found a workable compromise.
Workable also describes materials that can be shaped or manipulated: The clay was still workable.
The word emphasizes practicality over perfection—a workable plan is one you can actually execute.
