Able to sin. (Seems wrong: shouldn't it logically mean "able to be sinned [against]"?) Not much in GBooks. Equinox 21:15, 20 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I’ve added three quotations, but the term appears obsolete, as I did not find quotations later than the 19th century. Language is not always logical; peaceable does not mean "able to be peaced".  --Lambiam 07:36, 21 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Understood about logic for some common words, but when it's a super-rare word that can hardly be found at all, logic might come into play. Equinox 01:22, 22 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
