gressible - adj., able to walk.


From Latin gressus, step, from the past participle of gradare, to walk; a sibling of progress, regress, et al. and cousin of graduate, retrograde, and the like. Counts as rare -- onelook.com finds it in only one dictionary, and that a rare words list. Still, it amuses me.
