Etymology

The term 'pivotable' is derived from the word 'pivot', which has its roots in the Middle French word 'pivot', meaning 'a pin or a pivot for a revolving object.' In modern usage, 'pivot' has evolved to describe the act of changing direction, particularly in business and innovation contexts. The addition of the suffix '-able' suggests that something is capable of being pivoted or altered. The concept gained popularity in the tech and startup sectors during the early 21st century as companies sought to remain competitive by being willing to shift their strategies in response to new information or market conditions. The rise of agile methodologies in business has further solidified the importance of a pivotable mindset.
