elastic
Elastic, rubber or a rubber band can be stretched and hen returns to its own shape.
When a solid is stretched or compressed beyond the point that it can return to its original shape it has passed its elastic limit.
Elastic Force

A rubber band will return to its original shape after it has been stretched due to its elastic properties.
Elasticity describes the ability of a solid to return to its original shape after being deformed or stretched.
The ability to be stretched is referred to as elasticity. It describes the property of materials to return to their original shape and size after being stretched or deformed. Materials like rubber and certain types of metals exhibit high elasticity.

Elastic Deformation
When a material is stretched beyond its limit, it undergoes plastic deformation and does not return to its original size or shape. This is because the stress applied exceeds the material's yield strength, causing permanent structural changes.
When a spring is stretched beyond its limit, it reaches a point where it can no longer return to its original shape. This is known as the spring's elastic limit. If the spring is stretched beyond this limit, it will permanently deform or even break.
