"A mobile responsive website is one that adapts to fit different screens, most notably mobile phones. It can do this in a number of ways that improve visibility and usability. For example, a mobile responsive site will have pictures that change to fit the screen size. Buttons and text will do the same, so they can all be viewed properly on a phone screen."— June Potter, The Times Union (Albany, New York), 17 June 2021

Did You Know?
Responsive comes from the joining of Latin responsus with the suffix -ivus, which gave English -ive. That suffix changes verbs into adjectives, as in suggestive or corrosive. Responsus is a form of respondēre, which means "to answer" and is the source of English's respond. Responsive enters the language with the meaning "giving response" or "answering." Examples are "a responsive letter" or "a responsive glance." Nowadays, it variously describes people or things that immediately respond or react to something, such as "a responsive audience" or "a car with responsive steering."
Responsus 来自拉丁语 responsus 与后缀 -ivus 的连接，这给了英语 -ive。 该后缀将动词变成形容词，如suggestive『暗示性』或corrosive『腐蚀性』。 Responsus是 responsēre 的一种形式，意思是“to answer『回答』”，是英语 respons 的来源。 Responsive 带有“giving response『给出响应』”或“answering『回答』”的意思。 例如“responsive letter『回应信』”或“a responsive glance『带有回答意义的一瞥』”。 如今，它以不同的方式描述对某事立即做出反应的人或做出回馈的事，例如“a responsive audience『反应灵敏的观众』”或“"a car with responsive steering『具有灵敏转向功能的汽车』”。
