Surface Forms

flexibleness singular

Morphology

flexibleness = flexible (transparent) = flex + ible + ness

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to 'flexible', indicating the state or quality of being adaptable.

Etymology

Flexibleness comes from the Latin root flectere, which means 'to bend', and the same root is in the word flexible. So flexibleness also means the ability to 'bend' in a more general sense — to change or adapt easily.
