transformability

Capacity for conversion

Transformability is the quality of being able to undergo transformation—the capacity to change form, structure, or character.

The term appears most often in technical contexts where materials, systems, or designs must adapt to different conditions or purposes: The architect emphasized the transformability of the living space.

Urban planners discuss the transformability of neighborhoods, while engineers assess the transformability of convertible structures.

The word emphasizes potential rather than actual change.
