Root Explanation

Conductibility → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "ducere" (meaning to lead) and the suffix "-ibility" (meaning the quality of being able to). The word "conductibility" refers to the quality of being able to lead or transmit something, such as electricity or heat, together.

Memory Tip

Think of 'leading together' ('con-' and 'ducere') to remember that 'conductibility' means the quality of being able to lead or transmit.
