Outline
• flexible:
      1. 1. flexĭbĭlis, e (lit. and fig.): that the material of all things is f. and changeable, materiam rerum esse f. et commutabilem, Cic. N. D. 3, 39, 92: the wood of the vine f. for chariots, ad currus f. vitis, Plin. 16, 43, 83: a f. kind of voice, genus vocis f., Cic. N. D. 2, 58, 146: they have nothing in them that is not f. towards goodness, nihil habent non f. ad bonitatem, Cic. Att. 10, 11, init.: f. diction, oratio f., Cic. Or. 16, 52.
      2. 2. flexĭlis, e (only in lit. sense): all f. (trees), f. omnia [quae lenta diximus], Plin. 16, 43, 83: a f. horn, f. cornu, Ov.
      3. 3. lentus (tough; opp. to brittle): f. boughs, l. rami, Virg.: more f. than willow boughs, lentior salicis virgis, Ov. M. 13, 800: a f. whip, l. flagellum, Phaedr. 3, 6, 6: Plin. 16, 43, 83 (v. supr.). Hence, to become f., lentesco, 3: if a willow is not f. enough, it must be buried in manure so as to become f., salix si minus l. est, in stercore obruenda, ut lentescat, Col. 11, 2, ad fin.
      4. 4. mollis, e: the f. rush, m. juncus, Virg.: f. linden trees, m. tiliae, Ov.: v. soft, yielding.

• FLEXIBLE
flexibilis: mollis (both PROP. and IMPROP.; e.g., of the voice): facilis (giving way, yielding, opposed to difficilis): qui regi potest (PROP. and IMPROP.; Vid: Sen., De Ir., ii., 15, extr.): tractabilis (IMPROP., tractable, of persons; mollis conveys the meaning of rather too yielding).
