"Labile" has two definitions : "1. Open to change;adaptable. 2. A Chemistry term meaning constantly undergoing change; unstable." An example sentence: The patient's blood pressure was extremely labile.The etymology of "labile" comes from the Late Latin word labilis (apt to slip), and then passing through Old French labile , and the Middle English word labil (wandering) before entering its modern day English form.
