Word origin

The word 'malleable' comes from the Latin word 'malleabilis', meaning 'capable of being hammered or shaped with a hammer'. The concept of malleability has been important throughout history, particularly in metalworking and sculpting. The term has since been extended to describe the ability to be easily influenced or changed.
