Is there such a word as?

[Springdouble]

Dismissable?
I hear it quoted ad nauseum in employment terms, but can't find it in the dictionary, can anyone enlighten me please?

There is ...but you'd spell it 'dismissible' ...easy one to mis-spell

something that's allowed is permissible. A film you should see is unmissable. Verily, English spelling is a thing of mystery.

If you hear the word a lot but it isn't in the dictionary, it means the dictionaries aren't keeping up with usage, which they should be. A word that's used a lot, and over a decent period of time (eg not just a trendy catchphrase from a TV show), and has a clear meaning, is a proper word.

It's in the Chambers Dictionary and several others .
Dismissible as Naz says .adjective ..a related form of dismiss.Subject to dismissal.

Thanks folks, believe it or not, I consider myself as a brilliant speller, but that one passed me by, merely a spelling issue, but thanks for the response.

It's of no great help to you if you don't know Latin, of course, but - purely out of interest - English words ending in '-able' normally came originally from Latin words ending in '-abilis'. They came, in turn, from verbs ending in '-are' such as 'amare' = to love, 'mutare' = to change etc.
Similarly, our '-ible' words came from Latin verbs ending in '-ere' and '-ire'. Thus our 'admissible' from 'admittere' and 'audible' from 'audire'. 'Dismissible' is from 'dimittere'.

Oh dear...the underlining above was supposed to end after the 'i'.

obviously one of those words that isn't easily htmlible, Quizmonster.
