Capable of being attracted; able to be drawn toward something (rare).
From attract + -ile suffix (meaning 'capable of being' or 'characterized by'). Related to Latin trahere and the suffix -ile as in 'ductile' (able to be drawn into wire).
In physics, 'attractile' describes materials that respond to magnetic or gravitational pull—it's the opposite of 'repulsive,' and it shows how suffix patterns let scientists build precise vocabulary!
