Flexible girl takes walk round (8)

I believe the answer is:

amenable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flexible' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl takes walk round' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'ena' (woman's name).
'takes' indicates putting letters inside (take can mean to capture or invade).
'walk round' becomes 'amble' (ambling is a kind of walking. I am not sure about the 'round' bit.).
'ena' put within 'amble' is 'AMENABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amenable that I've seen before include "Ready to accept" , "Helpful" , "likely to cooperate - with 3a" , "Acquiescent" , "Open and responsive to suggestion" .)
