What does AGILE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Able to move quickly, easily, and with control; nimble in body or in thought.
A gymnast or a cat is called agile for the speed and precision with which it changes direction, while a mind can be just as agile when it grasps new ideas fast and switches between them without strain. The word comes from Latin agilis, related to agere, to do or to drive, and English has used it for both bodily and mental quickness since at least the sixteenth century. The same adjective also gave its name to Agile, a family of software project methods built around short cycles and quick adjustment rather than one fixed plan drawn up in advance. Across all these uses agile keeps the same core idea: reacting fast and without stiffness.
How AGILE is used
Describes physical quickness of movement and, by extension, a quick mind or a flexible way of working, including the capitalised project-management sense.
