able to be routed again
Etymology
'reroutable' originates from Modern English, specifically the prefix 're-' (from Latin) and the verb 'reroute', where 're-' meant 'again' and 'reroute' meant 'to change the route'.
'reroutable' was formed in English by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-able' to the verb 'reroute'. The verb 'reroute' itself was formed by adding the prefix 're-' to 'route'. 'Route' entered English from Old French 'route' meaning 'way' or 'path'.
Initially it meant 'able to be assigned a new route', and over time it has come to mean more generally 'capable of being rerouted' in technical and everyday contexts.
