Etymology
The word exhibitable comes from the common word exhibit and the ending -able, and exhibit itself comes from the parts ex- and habere meaning 'out' and 'to hold', so to exhibit is to 'hold out' something for people to see. Since -able means 'can be', exhibitable simply means 'can be shown' or 'able to be displayed'.
