机动 (jī dòng) — motorized; power-driven; flexible; adaptable; reserved for contingency

Definition

机动 has two distinct senses: 'motorized, power-driven' (e.g. 机动车辆) and 'flexible, reserved for contingency' (e.g. 机动时间). The flexibility sense is narrower than 灵活 — it implies time/resources held back for unexpected needs, not general nimbleness.
