collapsibility
Ability to fold
Collapsibility is the capacity to be collapsed or folded into a more compact form.
The term appears in product descriptions for portable items—strollers, camping gear, storage containers: The collapsibility of the design makes it ideal for small apartments.
In technical contexts, it can describe how readily a structure gives way under pressure.
