In physics and materials science, plasticity describes the deformation of a material undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied forces. ...

Plasticity means the ability to be shaped and molded.

Plasticity is a physical property.

Plasticity (sociology), is the capacity for positive change in response to environmental demands.
