A consumable is something that you use up completely when you use it. For example, when you eat food, you can't use it again because it changes or disappears. This is different from non-consumable things that can be used over and over again.
CONSUMABLE
A consumable is something that cannot be used without changing or using up its substance. This can include things like food, fuel, or medicine. The opposite of a consumable is a non-consumable, which can be used repeatedly without being used up.
These examples illustrate the definition of a consumable because they all involve using something up or changing its substance in order to use it. Once a consumable is used, it cannot be used again in the same way.
