legginess

Having lengthy legs

Legginess is the quality of having notably long legs, or of appearing that way.

The word applies to people, animals, and plants alike: a leggy supermodel has legginess, as does a seedling that has grown tall and spindly from insufficient light.

The legginess of the colts made them look awkward.
