"Fragile" is an adjective used to describe something or someone that is delicate or easily damaged. For example, you might use this word to describe a person who is weak or ill, or to describe an object that can be easily broken. Ex: I am mailing my friend a vase, so I put a "fragile" sticker on the box. Ex: She has been in the hospital for weeks, so she appears very sickly and fragile.
