   Etymology: from compress.

1. compressible

   In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, the compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility or, if the temperature is held constant, the isothermal compressibility) is a measure of the instantaneous relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change. In its simple form, the compressibility κ {\displaystyle \kappa } (denoted β in some fields) may be expressed as β = − 1 V ∂ V ∂ p {\displaystyle \beta =-{\frac {1}{V}}{\frac {\partial V}{\partial p}}} ,where V is volume and p is pressure. The choice to define compressibility as the negative of the fraction makes compressibility positive in the (usual) case that an increase in pressure induces a reduction in volume. The reciprocal of compressibility at fixed temperature is called the isothermal bulk modulus.

1. compressible

   Compressible refers to substances or materials that can be reduced in volume by applying pressure, due to the empty spaces between their particles. It is the capacity of a substance to change its form or volume under external forces or pressure. The term is typically used in physics and engineering to describe gases, but it can apply to other materials as well.
