Its usage became more prevalent in legal contexts to describe rights, agreements, or regulations that can be violated. In contemporary language, 'violable' is often encountered in legal documents, discussions of ethics, and analyses of social contracts, reflecting the importance of understanding the boundaries of agreements and the implications when they are disregarded.
