Scope is meaning to see the inside of something with the help of a small camera attached to a thin string

and SCOPY is to look into somethicg with the help of a device ,  indicating viewing, observation, or examination, typically with an instrument having a name ending in -scope.

Flexible here is reffering to a soft and very fine tube

So all in all flexible endoscopy is an examination in which the interior of the urinary bladder is examined with a very fine , soft tube which has a small telescopic camera attached to its front end.
