Is there a word for "able to be conducted"? [closed]
Is there a word that means that something is able to be conducted, like heat or electricity, but more generally/in a metaphorical sense? "Conductible" means "able to conduct" which is counter intuitive.
Solution 1:
You could use "transmissible" or "transmittable"
transmit verb
1a : to send or convey from one person or place to another : FORWARD b : to cause or allow to spread: such as (1) : to convey by or as if by inheritance or heredity : HAND DOWN (2) : to convey (infection) abroad or to another

It does have a connotation of referring to disease, though.
Other words to consider would be "conveyable" and "mobile".
Solution 2:
It's not an exact synonym, but heat and electricity are both said to be "transferable" (which also works in a general or metaphorical sense).
