Preventable (9)

I think it could be either:

avertible

avoidable

'preventable' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for avoidable that I've seen before include "Such a mistake, say, should not have happened" , "Not necessary" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard and The Star Tribune.
