gradable
/ˈɡreɪdəbəl/
adjective
- Capable of being arranged in degrees or levels, especially in grammar (of adjectives or adverbs) that can be used in comparative and superlative forms.
- Not all adjectives are gradable; for example, 'dead' is not gradable.

- The word 'hot' is gradable because you can say 'hotter' and 'hottest'.
