Definitions

2. Capable of being told or narrated once more in detail
3. Fit for being described or related again to others

Etymology: "Recountable" is about as plain as English word-building gets: it joins "recount," meaning to tell again or to narrate in detail, with the suffix "-able," which marks something capable of being acted on in the way the base describes. A recountable event is one that can be told over to others. The base itself does a bit of work worth noticing. "Recount" carries the prefix "re-" (again) attached to "count" in its older sense of relating or narrating, a meaning that predates the arithmetic sense now more familiar to most speakers. So the word is essentially "able to be told again," with the "count" in it meaning recital rather than tallying.
