one legged
Missing a leg
One-legged describes having only one leg, whether from birth, amputation, or injury: a one-legged veteran, a one-legged pirate with a wooden peg.
Figuratively, it suggests incompleteness or imbalance—something that can't stand on its own: a one-legged argument that falls apart under scrutiny.
