The quality or property of being ductile; the ability to be drawn out into thin wires or threads without breaking.
From 'ductile' (from Latin 'ductilis,' able to be led) plus the suffix '-ity' (from Latin, forming nouns of state). This technical term emerged in materials science to describe metal properties.
Ductibility is why copper became humanity's favorite metal for wires—it can be stretched impossibly thin without snapping, and this single material property enabled the entire electrical revolution of the modern world.
