The English Wiktionary has dictionary definitions (meanings of a word) for: soluble and solubility

Solubility is the ability of a substance (the solute), to mix into a liquid (the solvent).[1]

It measures the highest amount of substance mixed into a liquid solvent while they are both at equal amounts. When the two mix together it is called a saturated solution. Certain substances can mix into any amount of a liquid solvent. An example of this is ethanol in water. This process is better described as "miscible" (the ability to mix with one another).
