Morphology
This is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'flexible' describes a property of the 'harrow', so the meaning (a harrow that bends or follows contours) is directly derivable from the constituents. There is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift—it's a literal, technical description following normal noun modification patterns familiar across languages.
Etymology
Flexible harrow comes from a simple farm picture: flexible because the frame bends to follow uneven ground, and harrow for the tool with teeth that moves across and scratches the soil. So the name tells us it is a tool for 'weeding' and 'smoothing' soil.
