Origin of the word fragility

The word "fragility" has its roots in the Latin word "fragilis," meaning "easily broken." This Latin term evolved into the Old French "fragile," which was subsequently adopted into English around the 14th century. The concept of fragility is deeply embedded in our understanding of physical objects, referring to their susceptibility to breaking or damage. Over time, the term has expanded to encompass other areas, including emotional vulnerability, political instability, and environmental sensitivity.
