WHAT DOES FUNGIBILITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fungibility

Fungibility is the property of a good or a commodity whose individual units are capable of mutual substitution. For example, since one ounce of gold is equivalent to any other ounce of gold, gold is fungible. Other fungible commodities include sweet crude oil, company shares, bonds, precious metals, and currencies. Fungibility refers only to the equivalence of each unit of a commodity with other units of the same commodity. Fungibility does not relate to the exchange of one commodity for another different commodity. The word comes from Latin fungibilis from fungi, meaning "to perform", related to "function" and "defunct".
