Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin adjective 'agilis', meaning 'nimble' or 'quick', which stems from the verb 'agere' meaning 'to do' or 'to drive'. It entered Middle French as 'agile' in the late 14th century before being adopted into English with the same core meaning of physical swiftness, later expanding into modern corporate and software development terminology.
