Something flaccid is soft and weak when you would expect it to be firm. A leaf that needs water can be flaccid. A muscle that has not been used can feel flaccid. The word is rather formal and a little technical; in everyday talk people more often say limp, soft, or weak. Doctors use it. Though actually, one common medical use is about a penis that is not stiff — students meet this in health class and in jokes, so it is honest to name it. Do not mix it up with flabby: flabby is everyday and a bit rude about bodies; flaccid is cooler and more about “not firm.”
鬆軟的；軟弱無力的（醫學上也指未勃起）
組成Borrowed from Latin flaccidus, from flaccus, “hanging loose.”
