objectionable
UK: əbˈdʒekʃənəbl | US: əbˈdʒekʃənəbl
adj. causing disapproval or protest; offensive or unpleasant
adj. open to objection; debatable
The word "objectionable" combines "object" (from Latin obicere, "to oppose") with the suffix "-ion" (forming nouns) and "-able" (indicating capability). Originally rooted in legal or formal contexts, it evolved to describe anything likely to provoke opposition or distaste. The morphemes reflect a logical progression: "opposition" → "capable of being opposed."
