Liquidity
The ability to trade an amount of an asset without a large delay or adverse price effect.
In more detail
A liquid market has enough usable orders or pool assets to absorb trades with relatively little disruption. The amount matters: a market comfortable for a small swap may be thin for a large one. Reported trading volume is a different measurement and does not establish what liquidity is available now.
How you might use it
The small swap quote looks fine; increase the amount and the same thin pool suddenly shows much worse execution.
