Diffusibility

/ˌdɪfjuːzəˈbɪlɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or degree to which something can be diffused or spread throughout a medium.

Etymology

From diffusible + -ity (suffix forming nouns of state or quality). Diffusible itself comes from Latin diffusus + -ible, creating a technical term primarily used in chemistry and physics.

Kelly Says

Chemists use diffusibility to predict how quickly a gas will spread through air or how fast a dissolved substance will move through a solution—it's like measuring nature's eagerness to mix things up.
