Excisable
Definition:

Excitable
Definition:
(a.) Capable of being excited, or roused into action; susceptible of excitement; easily stirred up, or stimulated.
Example Sentences:
(1) Handing Greater Manchester’s £6bn health and social care budget over to the city’s combined authority is the most exciting experiment in local government and the health service in decades – but the risks are huge.
