The quality or capacity of a material to be shaped by hammering or heating in a forge.
From 'forgeable' (capable of being forged) + '-ity' (suffix forming abstract nouns), based on Middle English 'forge' from Old French 'forge'.
Materials engineers rate metals by forgeability—iron's exceptional forgeability made it revolutionary when humans learned to work it, transforming civilization from bronze to iron ages!
