solubility

/ˌsɑɫjəˈbɪɫəˌti/ noun

The amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of a solvent, to give a saturated solution, under specified conditions.

Word Origin Solubility comes from Latin soluere 'to loosen' — so it's the ability of something to be loosened or dissolved. The root soluere gives us solve (to loosen a problem), dissolve (to loosen apart), resolve (to loosen again, decide), and absolute (loosened from, unrestricted). The PIE root *leu- 'to loosen, divide' also underlies words like lose, loose, and even analysis (a loosening up). So solubility is literally 'loosen-ability.'

noun The amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of a solvent, to give a saturated solution, under specified conditions. countable
