Root Explanation

Expansibility → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out) and "pandere" (meaning to spread). The suffix "-ity" (meaning the state or quality of) indicates a condition. Thus, expansibility refers to the quality of being able to spread out or extend.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can 'spread out' ('ex-' means out and 'pandere' means to spread) — that's why expansibility means the ability to extend or spread.
