nimble
Significado: Quick and light in movement or action; able to think and respond rapidly to changing circumstances.
Nimble applies both physically (nimble fingers, nimble on one's feet) and metaphorically (nimble thinking, a nimble organisation). In business writing, it has become a buzzword for companies that can adapt quickly to market changes. The word carries connotations of lightness and agility rather than raw speed or power.
