feasible / feasibility Explanation: I couldn't find it as a verb, but you can change the sentende a little and use it as an adjective (feasible) or as a noun (feasibility). Translation found at Manoel O. M. Pinho. (from Cambridge International Dictionary of English) feasible adjective SLIGHTLY FORMAL able to be made, done or achieved; possible or reasonable Now that we have the extra resources, the scheme seems politically/financially/technically feasible. The Government wants a 3% inflation rate, but is this a feasible objective? It's quite feasible (=possible) (that) we'll get the money. feasibly adverb SLIGHTLY FORMAL He has already hurt two people and therefore he could quite feasibly attack someone else, perhaps more viciously. feasibility noun [U] We're studying the feasibility of building a new shopping centre outside town. The council is making/doing a feasibility study (=examining the situation to decide about the possibility) of/on the shopping centre proposals.
