Adaptable 

It’s an adjective; it means able to adjust to new conditions or capable of being modified for a new purpose. It can be applied to both people and objects and some authorities say that being adaptable, able to cope with changing conditions, is why humans are the dominant life form on earth.
It is frequently used in the workplace to describe someone who can handle anything and is capable of taking on the jobs that would have others scratching their heads until they got splinters under their fingers. It is also used to describe members of the British armed forces, one reason, perhaps, why they are the best in the world.
People are adaptable when conditions change.

Adaptability Phase

A large life change that happens as the result of a social falling out. It usually happens during adolescence, where a person may need to think about the person there are in an effort to make themselves more socially adaptable. They may be extremely quiet or socially awkward while they are still learning, as they may need to relearn large amounts of social skills, as well as may be deeply engrossed in thought and not focused on the world around them. Many people that experience this phase believe that they are the only person on Earth that have experienced it, although, in reality, a lot of people will experience it.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.
