Is the word trackable used correctly here?

I want to phrase a sentence to say that:

one could find easily the initial source location of an object.

Could we say that that object is easily trackable, in the sense of its original location?


Solution 1:

I'd suggest using "traceable". "trackable" usually implies you're finding something where it is now. If you're finding where it's been, you're "tracing back the path" as it were, which is why "traceable" sounds better.
