Picture something long that does not have to stay straight: press it and it curves, let go and it is fine. Every use of this word sits somewhere on that one picture — the thing that gives way in your hands, the body that folds, the road that is already curving, the bus with a hinge in its middle.
bendy 的畫面可以想成一樣細長的東西，本來就不必是直的。你一壓它就彎，放手它也沒壞。這個字的每個用法都停在這個畫面的某一格。手裡一壓就彎的東西是一格。可以折可以轉的身體是一格。本來就一路在轉的路是一格。中間有個接頭、轉得過彎的公車也是一格。
From the word’s history
The word is bend plus the ending -y, which turns an action into a quality — so it means something like given to bending.
字源資料說 bendy 是 bend（彎）加上 -y。-y 的作用是把一個動作變成一種性質。可以想成：把「彎」這個動作黏在東西身上，變成「它就是很容易彎」。sleepy、chewy 都是同一條路做出來的字。
