Ability to adjust
Flexibility is the ability to bend without breaking, whether physical or figurative.
A gymnast has flexibility; so does a schedule that accommodates changes.
Flexible arrangements adapt to circumstances: We need some flexibility on the deadline.
The word implies willingness to adjust rather than rigid adherence to fixed plans or positions.
