The word "plastic" is an old word meaning something along the lines of "moldable". Many materials commonly called plastics are moldable, at least if you heat them up (not all of them, though; it always gives me a little twinge to hear someone call a material like Bakelite "plastic" ... it will burn before it softens or melts).
