stretchiness
Ability to extend
Stretchiness is the quality of being able to stretch—the capacity to extend under tension and typically return to original shape.
Fabrics are often evaluated for stretchiness: The stretchiness of this material makes it perfect for yoga pants.
The word applies to anything with elastic properties, from rubber bands to pizza dough.
