- inflexible (adj.) late 14c., "incapable of being bent, physically rigid," also figuratively, "unyielding in temper or purpose," from Middle French inflexible and directly from Latin inflexibilis "that cannot be bent," from in- "not, opposite of" (see in- (1) + flexibilis "pliant, yielding" (see flexible). In early 15c. an identical word had an opposite sense, "capable of being swayed or moved," from in- "in, on." Related: Inflexibly.
