A choice of it may be made according to the gust and manner of the
ancients.
Dryden.
Gust, v. t. [Cf. L. gustare, It. gustare, Sp. gustar. See GUST a
relish.] To taste; to have a relish for. [Obs.]
Gust"a*ble (?), a. [See Gust, v.] [Obs.] 1. Capable of being tasted;
tastable.
This position informs us of a vulgar error, terming the gall
bitter; whereas there is nothing gustable sweeter.
Harvey.
