Etymology
The word 'limber' has its origins in the Middle English term 'limberen', which means to make pliable or flexible. This word is derived from the Old Norse word 'limbr', meaning soft or flexible. Over time, 'limber' became associated with physical flexibility and, in its superlative form as 'limberest', it emphasizes the highest degree of this trait. The evolution of the word reflects changes in language and usage patterns over several centuries, as people began to apply it not only to physical attributes but also to describe adaptable and flexible objects or ideas in various contexts. Throughout history, flexibility has been a valued trait, both in terms of physical skill and mental adaptability, further embedding the term in the English language.
