The state or quality of being conductive; the ability to conduct electricity, heat, or other forms of energy.
From 'conductile' (a variant of 'conductive,' from Latin 'conducere') plus the suffix '-ity,' which forms abstract nouns from adjectives. This is another variant of 'conductivity' that appears occasionally in older technical texts.
This word is a linguistic fossil—it's the same meaning as 'conductivity' but uses a different suffix path, showing how English had multiple ways to express scientific concepts before settling on standard terms that scientists prefer.
