Fracturableness

/ˈfræktʃərəbəlnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being able to be fractured or broken into pieces.

Etymology

From fracture (Latin fractura, 'a breaking') + -able (capable of) + -ness (quality of). The suffix chain builds the abstract noun form describing the capacity for being broken.

Kelly Says

This word perfectly demonstrates how English speakers can stack suffixes endlessly—we could theoretically add more (-ably, -ist, -ization) and still be understood, showing how our language is built like modular LEGO blocks.
