Etymology

The word 'fragile' comes from the Latin term 'fragilis,' which means 'easily broken.' This Latin word is derived from 'frangere,' meaning 'to break.' The concept of fragility has been important throughout history, as it applies not only to physical objects but also to human emotions and relationships. The superlative form 'fragilest' was coined to denote the utmost level of fragility. Over time, the understanding and linguistic representation of fragility have evolved, especially within contexts of art, nature, and personal complexities. This evolution reflects humanity's recognition of vulnerability, prompting deeper explorations into strength, resilience, and the impacts of external pressures on both inanimate objects and living beings.
