mouldable (comparative more mouldable, superlative most mouldable) (British spelling)

  1. Able to be moulded; plastic
    • 1651, Francis Bacon, Sylva Sylvarum:
      The differences of impressible and not impressible; figurable and not figurable; mouldable and not mouldable; scissile and not scissile; and many other passions of matter, are plebeian notions, applied unto the instruments and uses which men ordinarily practise; but they are all but the effects of some of these causes following, which we will enumerate without applying them, because that would be too long.
