moldability
Capacity for reshaping
Moldability is the quality of being able to be shaped or formed.
The term appears in both literal and figurative contexts: a material's moldability determines how easily it can be pressed into shape, while a person's moldability suggests openness to influence or change.
The clay's moldability made it ideal for detailed work.
