The quality or property of being capable of undergoing corrosion; the degree to which a material can be eaten away by chemical action.
From 'corrosive' + the suffix '-ibility' (from Latin '-ibilitas'). Established in scientific English in the 19th century as chemists needed precise language for material properties.
Materials scientists test corrosibility by exposing samples to salt spray for thousands of hours in special chambers—it's like giving metals a brutal endurance test to predict how long they'll survive in the real world!
