lithe
Slim and agile
Lithe describes a body that is supple and graceful, bending easily: a lithe dancer, her lithe figure.
The word suggests fluid, effortless movement—the quality of a gymnast or cat.
Lithe carries positive connotations of elegance and flexibility, distinct from merely thin or skinny.
