A collapsible object is designed to fold or be compressed into a smaller size. Think of a camping chair or a folding ladder. It's useful for saving space or for easy transport. It's not simply fragile; it's specifically made to reduce its dimensions. Imagine a telescope that shortens with a twist. That's collapsible!

'Collapsible' describes the ability or tendency to 'fall together,' thereby reducing in size. It emphasizes the ease with which an object can be made more compact.
