Fluidible

/ˈfluːɪdɪbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of becoming fluid or liquid; able to flow or be made into a flowing state.

Etymology

From Latin 'fluere' (to flow) plus '-ible' meaning 'capable of,' creating a rare variant of 'fluible' used sporadically in 18th-19th century scientific texts.

Kelly Says

Both 'fluidible' and 'fluible' exist as forgotten cousins—English speakers couldn't decide which suffix sounded better, so both appeared in old chemistry books before 'fluid' and 'fluidity' won out completely.
