elasticity has 1 distinct synonym spread across 1 of its 1 sense. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is inelasticity.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
the tendency of a body to return to its original shape after it has been stretched or compressed
“the waistband had lost its snap”
