Mae'r New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998) [NOED] yn nodi 3 ystyr
gwahanol (gydag is-ystyron) i'r enw CAPACITY gelwir y rhain yn 'core
sense' - [ystyr creiddiol?].
Mae'n debyg y defnyddid gwahanol eiriau yn Gymraeg i fynegi'r ystyron hyn
ac nid oes rheswm dros geisio cael un gair i gyfateb. Dyma ddetholiad o'r
NOED gan gynnwys ymadroddion enghreifftiol:
1. [in sing] the maximum amount that something can contain 'the stadium's
seating capacity' [mass noun] 'the room was filled to capacity'
* [as modifier] fully occupying the available area or space 'played to a
capacity crowd'
* the amount that something can produce 'the company aimed to double its
capacity'
* the total volume that is swept by the pistons in an internal-combustion
engine
2. ability or power to do, experience, or understand something 'I was
impressed by her capacity'
* [in sing] a person's legal competence
3. [in sing] a specified role or position 'I was engaged in a voluntary
capacity'
