Having the quality of being flexible or capable of bending at the knee; relating to knee-flexing movement.
From genu (knee) + flexuosus (Latin: full of bends, winding), creating an adjective describing something with the characteristic of flexible knee movement. The -uous suffix indicates fullness of that quality.
Genuflexuous is so rare you might never encounter it, but it's a beautiful linguistic creation—it took the flexible, winding quality of Latin flexuosus and married it to knee-bending, creating a word for supple, bendy knees!
