impressibility
Capacity for influence
Impressibility is the quality of being easily impressed or influenced—a susceptibility to outside forces, whether emotional, intellectual, or physical.
The word appears in older literature describing sensitive temperaments: Her impressibility made her vulnerable to flattery.
In technical contexts, it can refer to a material's capacity to receive and retain an impression.
