limberness

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic limu- 'limb, branch' — the idea is being flexible and bendable like a tree branch or a limb. The word limber originally described something that could bend easily, and limberness is that quality. The same root gives us limb and forelimb. The PIE root *ley- meant 'to bend'.
