Etymology
[ 'ma-lE-&-b&l, 'mal-y&a ] (adjective.) 14th century. From Middle English malliable, borrowed from Late Latin malleābilis, derived from malleāre (“to hammer”), from malleus (“hammer”), from Proto-Indo-European *mal-ni- (“crushing”), an extended variant of Proto-Indo-European *melH₂- (“crush, grind”).
