Usage Note

Asequible means affordable (within financial reach) or accessible/understandable (within intellectual reach): un precio asequible (an affordable price) and un texto asequible (an accessible text). It is a false friend for English 'achievable', which is alcanzable or lograble. The opposite is inasequible (unaffordable, inaccessible).
