Etymology
'flexibly-formed' originates from the combination of 'flexible' and 'formed', where 'flexible' comes from Latin 'flexibilis', meaning 'capable of being bent', and 'formed' from Old English 'formian', meaning 'to shape'.
'flexible' changed from the Latin word 'flexibilis' and 'formed' from Old English 'formian', eventually combining to form the modern English term 'flexibly-formed'.
Initially, 'flexible' meant 'capable of being bent', and 'formed' meant 'to shape'. Together, they evolved to mean 'designed to be adaptable'.
