(1) An adaptive
(Ackoff 1971)
(2) Attributes of
(INCOSE 1998)
(3) The ability of a system to acclimate physically and functionally to a new operating environment with a minimal degree of degradation to
(Wasson 2006)
(4) the ability of the system to become suitable for a new use or purpose and to what range or sources of variation. According to Jackson (2016) adaptability is an attribute of a resilient system.

Discussion
(1) A system science definition, which applies to any level of system
(2) The term in a software context where it is frequently used, the same idea could apply to human systems. The 1998 INCOSE SE Terms Glossary is an authoritative source.
(3) A more general definition, which applies to complex engineered systems. The book by Wasson is a standard systems engineering textbook.
