stretchable

This term describes a physical property of elasticity, specifically the ability of a material to expand under tension and return to its original shape. It is most frequently encountered in the context of textiles, polymers, and industrial materials where flexibility and resilience are required for a snug fit or functional durability.

While similar to elastic, stretchable focuses more on the capacity for extension rather than the active force of snapping back. It carries a neutral, technical connotation and is standard in product descriptions for clothing, athletic gear, and medical bandages.
