writable
Can be inscribed
Writable describes something that can be written to or on.
In computing, a writable disk or file accepts new data: Make sure the drive is writable before saving.
The term contrasts with read-only.
Outside technology, writable surfaces accept marks: The whiteboard is writable with dry-erase markers.
