inflatability
Capacity for expansion
Inflatability is the capacity to be inflated—filled with air or gas to expand in size.
The term appears in product descriptions for air mattresses, pool toys, and emergency rafts: The inflatability of the life vest was tested under various conditions.
Figuratively, it might describe susceptibility to artificial expansion: the inflatability of housing prices.
