Hi, Elnara.
Since no one of the native speakers answered yet on your question, I will try it as well as possible although I am not a native English.
Lissome and agile are related terms for mobility, but there is a small difference.
I would say that the adjective lissome describes the type of movement, agile the ability to move.
Lissome is related to lithe; quick and graceful in movement.
Agile is related to having the faculty of quick motion in the limbs; apt or ready to move; nimble; active.
For example.:
The old couple danced with lissome movements, and I was amazed by how agile they still were at their age.
That means I was amazed by their graceful movements and how they were able to move so quickly with their limbs even though they were of old age.
Thank you very much!
Oi there, folks
In my feelings, "lissome" also incorporates the quality of being captivatingly slender, and of course, with gracefull and nimble movements - not only limb, but the whole bodyl, like a delightfully slender belly dance girl....hmmmmm... i wouldn't dare include a macho into that belly dance issue, no mater how beautifully slender he was to be, caramba! ;-)
Hi!
Agile-relating to or denoting a method of project management, used especially for software development, that is characterized by the division of tasks into short phases of work and frequent reassessment and adaptation of plans.Example-Ruth was as agile as a monkey
lissome-(of a person or their body) thin, supple, and graceful.Example-the kind of outfit that should be left to lissome teenagers
I hope you will understand.
