How to use "Fragile" in context?
Fragile is defined as "having a tendency to break or to be easily damaged." Often, fragile things are easily damaged because of their lack of strength or stability. They are often the first to be hurt in a drastic event, and can take a prolonged period of time to heal. This can make them particularly vulnerable to stress and other external factors.
