/ˈsʌplnəs//ˈsʌplnəs/

The word "suppleness" originates from the Old French "esplendesse," which is derived from the Latin "flexibilitas," meaning flexibility or pliability. It is related to the Latin "suppleare," meaning to bend or flex. In English, the word "suppleness" has been in use since the 14th century to describe the quality of being flexible or easily bent or flexed. It can also refer to the ability to adapt or be shaped to fit a particular purpose or situation. In the 16th century, the word took on a more figurative sense, describing someone who is adaptable, flexible, or able to conform to new circumstances. Today, the word is often used in various contexts, including sports, yoga, and everyday language, to describe physical or mental flexibility.
