distinguishable
Capable of being distinguished from other objects; by circumlocution. These things are easily distinguishable, harum rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio: this is easily distinguishable from that, quid inter hoc et illud intersit, facile distinguitur: these things seem to be hardly distinguishable, haec quo pacto discernere ac separare possim, nescio: these things are not distinguishable from those, haec ab illis nullo discrimine separantur: these things are distinguishable by the mind, but are, in reality identical, haec cogitatione inter se differunt, re quidem copulata sunt: hardly distinguishable, difficilis ad distinguendum.
Distinguishable by the sight, aliquid oculis judicari potest (Caes.): aspectabilis; quod cerni potest. Not distinguishable, quod oculis judicari non potest: the direction in which it flows is not distinguishable by the eye, oculis, in utram partem fluat, judicari non potest (Caes.) [Vid: VISIBLE.] ☞ Notabilis = remarkable, notable, in Cic.; but in Sen., adspice nobilissimarum civitatum fundamenta vix notabilia.
