  • The diffusibility of the solution was tested in the lab to determine its rate of mixing.

Examples

  • Scientists compared the diffusibility of various gases under controlled conditions.

  • Higher diffusibility allows substances to mix more easily.

  • High diffusibility allows certain chemicals to spread more rapidly through membranes.

  • The diffusibility of gases is crucial in many scientific experiments.

Morphology

diffusibility = diffusible (transparent) = diffuse + ible + ity

Standard derivation: 'diffuse' -> 'diffusible' (able to spread) -> 'diffusibility' (the property of being able to spread), so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Diffusibility comes from two Latin parts: dis- 'apart' and fundere 'to pour', so imagine something being 'poured apart' and spreading out. That's why diffusibility means the ability of a substance to move from a place where there is more of it to a place where there is less.
