Etymology
'flexibly-created' originates from the combination of 'flexible' and 'create', where 'flexible' comes from Latin 'flexibilis', meaning 'capable of being bent', and 'create' from Latin 'creare', meaning 'to make'.
'flexibilis' transformed into the Old French word 'flexible', and eventually became the modern English word 'flexible'. 'Creare' transformed into the Old French word 'creer', and eventually became the modern English word 'create'.
Initially, 'flexible' meant 'capable of being bent', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'adaptable'. 'Create' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to make'.
