It is best to avoid using able-bodied to mean ‘not having a physical disability’, since many people with disabilities object to its use in this way. Their preferred term is non-disabled. Abled, meaning ‘not disabled’, is a revival of an obsolete 16th-century word, and has been recorded in print in the US since the 1980s. It is now used in the phrase differently abled and as a more positive alternative to disabled.
