Usage notes

• The meaning of administrable is not coextensive with the English administrable. The Italian implies control or management of an object, company, etc. The English, on the other hand, is often used to describe something that is easy to deploy or enforce (in, e.g., "an administrable legal standard").
• somministrabile and amministrabile are generally not synonymous. The first relates to administration (of a drug, food, etc.) to another person, whereas the second implies management of an object, company, etc.
