Friable is an adjective that means easily broken or crumbled.
Friable comes for the Latin word friabilis (free AH bee lees) meaning ‘crumble.’ A friable object can be easily crumbled or broken into many pieces.
The guys in the moving van did a horrible job with our dishes. They placed the most friable objects in areas they were most likely to be damaged.
