egiluvchi

Egiluvchi is a word in Uzbek meaning bendable or flexible. It is formed from the verb egil- “to bend” combined with the suffix -uvchi, which creates adjectives and agent nouns indicating “one who/which does or is capable of” the action. The immediate sense is that of something that can bend or deform without breaking.

In technical contexts, egiluvchi is used to describe materials with ductility or malleability, i.e., they can undergo plastic deformation under stress before rupture. In everyday language, it can also describe objects, processes, or plans that are adaptable or able to change in response to circumstances, reflecting a broader notion of flexibility.

Grammatical usage: as an attributive adjective, egiluvchi precedes a noun, as in egiluvchi metall or egiluvchi material, though more common synonyms for physical flexibility include egiluvchan. The word also illustrates how Turkic suffixes form agent nouns and participial adjectives from verbs.
