Conversation

I heard there's a way to avoid taxes, but isn't it all just evadible?

Totally! Most of those tricks just don't hold up in court.

Right? It seems risky to rely on something that's evadible like that.

Agreed! It's better to stick with honest methods.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Evade is formed from "e-" (meaning out) and "vadere" (meaning to go). The suffix "-ible" (meaning capable of) indicates that something can be evaded. Therefore, "evadible" means capable of being evaded or avoided.

Memory Tip

Think of 'going out' ('e-') to avoid something ('vadere') — that's why evadible means something that can be avoided.
