Etymology
'flexibly-manufactured' originates from the combination of 'flexible' and 'manufactured'. 'Flexible' comes from Latin 'flexibilis', meaning 'capable of being bent'. 'Manufactured' comes from Latin 'manu factus', meaning 'made by hand'.
'flexible' changed from the Latin word 'flexibilis' and 'manufactured' from 'manu factus', eventually becoming the modern English term 'flexibly-manufactured'.
Initially, 'flexible' meant 'capable of being bent', and 'manufactured' meant 'made by hand'. Over time, 'flexibly-manufactured' evolved to mean 'produced in a way that allows for adaptability'.
