fusibility

/fjˌuzᵻbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The ease with which a material will melt.

Word Origin From Latin fundere 'to pour, melt' — so fusibility literally means 'the quality of being pourable or meltable.' The root fus- (from fundere) gives us a whole family of words about flowing and pouring: fuse (melt together), fusion (a melting together), diffuse (pour out in all directions), and even confuse (literally 'pour together' — mixing things up until you can't tell them apart). The PIE root *gheu- meant 'to pour,' and you can see it in words like 'gush' and 'geyser' too.

noun The ease with which a material will melt. countable
