It is formed from the word "collapse". This root word comes from the Latin collāpsus, "fallen together".

Collapsible is formed from the verb collapse, which comes from the Latin collāpsus, "fallen together." This makes sense, since something that is collapsible "falls" into a tighter, more compact size or shape. Of course, anything that is able to fall can be considered collapsible, but the word refers more to something that is intentionally made to fall, rather than something like a rickety building that might collapse.

dangina [55]

Answer:

The description of Ignatius' head contributes to the narrator's presentation that Ignatius looks unpleasant.

Explanation:

Ignatius is a very peculiar man and he causes people to be strange, because of the way he dresses, how he acts, his behavior and even his appearance, which is neither pleasant nor admirable. To reinforce the impression that Ignatius' appearance is bad, the author inserts the information that his head looked like a "fleshy balloon", which shows that he was ugly and that this contributed to people seeing him negative.
