Relating to bending or a bend; used especially in anatomy and engineering to describe something involving flexing.
From flexura (a bend) + -al (adjective-forming suffix). This creates the adjective form, commonly used in technical and scientific contexts.
Engineers obsess over 'flexural strength'—how much bending stress something can take before breaking—because understanding when things bend (but don't break) changed everything from airplane wings to phone screens!
