الشرح المختصر :

"Hayooli" (hylomorphism) refers to anything that is formable (i.e. liable to take a form). It has no actual existence by itself without the form; rather, its existence happens by its liability of taking a physical form. For instance, the "hayooli" of the ring is silver, and its physical form is well known. Anything we see in our world is called the form of the "hayooli".
