forgivable

adj

Etymology: From forgive + -able. Partially displaced non-native Middle English pardonable (“capable of being pardoned, forgivable”) from Old French pardonable (“forgivable”).

1. Able to be forgiven; worthy of forgiveness.

   “It's even forgivable here when the band sometimes sounds as though they've phoned in the Stonesy swagger, because when they're on, the Hellacopters sound like the best garage rock/bar band in the world.”

   “In retrospect, the misunderstanding about the plan was forgivable […]”

2. Of a loan, or a portion of it: such that repayment may be deferred for a period, or canceled, by the lender, if the borrower meets certain obligations.
