From the Online Etymology Dictionary, “dirigible (n.)
“airship,” 1885, short for dirigible balloon, from dirigible (adj.) “that may be directed, controlled, or steered” (1580s), from French dirigeable “capable of being directed or guided,” from Latin dirigere “to set straight” (see direct (v.)).”

Ha. I love reading this as an adjective, because I invariably think of it as a noun – as in an airship. Fun little twist of perspective for me.😊
