Definition
Not elastic; lacking elasticity; unable to return to original shape after being stretched or compressed.
Etymology
From Greek an- (not) combined with elastic (from Latin elasticus, 'springing back'). The prefix denies the property of elasticity.
Kelly Says
Anelastic materials are actually more common than perfectly elastic ones—butter, clay, and even metals under stress all behave anelastically, meaning they don't fully bounce back, and understanding this distinction is crucial in engineering and materials science.
