As shown by the definition of "explosiblity" above, taken from the Webster, "explosibility" has come to designate the same notion as that designated by "explosiveness". More over, "explosiveness" is not cited in the Webster. We therefore think that "explosibility" has replaced "explosiveness". 4, record 2, English, - explosiveness

Le terme "explosivité" est absent des ouvrages généraux récents que nous avons consultés. Il semble que son emploi soit tombé hors d'usage, ce qui a entraîné dans la même foulée, hélas pourrions-nous dire, la disparition de la nuance qui existait auparavant entre "explosivité" et "explosibilité". 5, record 2, French, - explosivit%C3%A9
