Magnetizable: meaning, definitions and examples
🧲
magnetizable
[ ˈmæɡnɪtaɪzəbl ]
physical properties
Magnetizable refers to the ability of a material to be magnetized, meaning it can acquire magnetic properties when exposed to a magnetic field. Materials that are magnetizable can respond to an external magnetic influence, allowing them to align their internal magnetic domains.
Synonyms
ferromagnetic, magnetically responsive.
Examples of usage
- Iron is highly magnetizable.
- Certain alloys are designed to be magnetizable.
- The magnetizable material demonstrated strong magnetic skills.
- This component is magnetizable under specific conditions.

Etymology
The term 'magnetizable' is derived from the word 'magnet,' which has its origins in the Greek word 'magnētis lithos,' meaning 'Magnesian stone.' Ancient Greeks discovered that certain stones from the region of Magnesia possessed magnetic properties. Over time, the term evolved through Latin as 'magnetis', and eventually came to mean anything that could be influenced by magnetic fields. The suffix '-able' indicates capability or susceptibility, thus combining with 'magnet' forms 'magnetizable,' suggesting a material's ability to become magnetized when subjected to external influences.
