placable
This term describes a temperament or a specific state of anger that is susceptible to resolution. It suggests a capacity for forgiveness or a willingness to be reconciled, often implying that the person's anger is not rooted in an immutable or irrational hatred, but rather in a grievance that can be addressed through apology or compensation.
In practical usage, it is a formal adjective. It is rarely used in casual conversation, where words like "reasonable" or "forgiving" are more common. It specifically targets the transition from a state of agitation to a state of peace, focusing on the possibility of the shift rather than the act of calming itself.
