Synonyms for deformability include flexibility, malleability, pliability, elasticity, ductility, and plasticity. These terms all encompass the ability of a material to adapt to external forces, whether they are physical, chemical, or mechanical. Flexibility and pliability both suggest a material's ability to bend or stretch without breaking. Malleability and ductility imply the ability to be shaped or stretched into different forms. Elasticity refers to the ability to return to its original shape after being deformed, while plasticity suggests the ability to permanently change shape under stress.
