Word #2


Word: Malleable

Source: I read this word in Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State by David Maybury. It was reading homework for my Anthropology 146 class.

How it was used: Perhaps the most sensitive and malleable criterion is the sense of common history.

Definition: Malleable- adjective
1. capable of being or shaped by hammering or by pressure from rollers.
2. adaptable or tractable: the malleable mind of a child.

My sentence: Gold is very malleable and suitable for making jewelry.
