leglessness
Absence of legs
Leglessness is the state of having no legs, whether from birth, amputation, or anatomical design—snakes exhibit natural leglessness.
The word also describes extreme drunkenness in British slang, from the idea of being too intoxicated to stand: By midnight he'd reached complete leglessness.
