Root Explanation

Bendy → The word is formed from "bend" (from Old English "bendan", meaning to curve or flex) and the suffix "-y" (meaning characterized by). Thus, "bendy" describes something characterized by the ability to bend or flex.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'characterized by bending' — that's what 'bendy' means.
