Definition
To act 'plastically' means to do it in a way that's easily shaped, molded, or influenced. Think of clay being sculpted into a new form – it can change its structure easily. It implies a quality that's flexible, adaptable, and responsive to external forces. It's more than just 'moldable;' it suggests an inherent capacity for change and transformation. 'Plastically' evokes a sense of malleability and potential.
