susceptible
When talking about being affected by something negative (like a disease or a feeling), use the preposition "to". For example: "susceptible to the flu." When talking about how something can be interpreted or understood, use the preposition "of". For example: "susceptible of interpretation." In everyday conversation, people often use "vulnerable" as a synonym for the first meaning, but "susceptible" is more common when discussing medical or biological tendencies.
