Etymology

The French noun **agile** derives from the Latin *agilis*, “nimble, capable of action”, itself from the verb *agere* “to do, to act, to move”. In Old French it appeared as the adjective *agil* and was later borrowed into Modern French as *agile*. The noun form arose in the 19th‑century, primarily in sporting or rhetorical contexts, to denote quickness or speed of movement.
