Society girl has a list that can be discussed (9)

I believe the answer is:

debatable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'can be discussed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'society girl has a list' is the wordplay.
'society girl' becomes 'deb' (short for debutante in fashionable society).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'list' becomes 'table' (I've seen this before).
'deb'+'a'+'table'='DEBATABLE'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for debatable that I've seen before include "Moot" , "Open to question" , "Open to argument" , "subject to discussion" , "Dubious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
