limberness
Joints bend easily
Limberness is the quality of being limber—flexible, supple, able to bend easily.
It applies to bodies that move freely without stiffness: Years of yoga improved her limberness.
The word extends to anything adaptable or pliant: mental limberness, the limberness of a young sapling.
