Pliant or flexible; capable of being bent without breaking.
From Latin complantus, possibly a variant or influence from compliable, blending com- with plant (flexible). This rare English adjective appears sporadically in historical texts but never became standardized.
Complant is a linguistic orphan—it emerged in English but never competed well against 'pliant,' 'flexible,' and 'compliant,' so it faded from use, showing how synonyms fight for survival in the vocabulary ecosystem.
