Etymology

The word 'flexibilize' is a modern term derived from the root 'flexible,' which originated from the Latin word 'flexibilis,' meaning 'that may be bent.' The suffix '-ize' is commonly used in English to form verbs meaning 'to make' or 'to become.' Therefore, 'flexibilize' emerged as a verb to describe the action of making something more flexible.
