Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in the early 1990s from the adjective 'agile' (derived from Latin 'agilis', meaning nimble or quick, from 'agere' to do) combined with 'manufacturing' (from Latin 'manu factus', made by hand). The term emerged from industrial engineering studies at Lehigh University to describe flexible, responsive production systems capable of adapting rapidly to changing market demands.
