Quality of leanness
Slenderness is the quality of being slender—thin, slight, or narrow in proportion to length or height.
It can describe physical form: the slenderness of her wrists, the slenderness of the tower.
Extended uses refer to insufficiency or meagerness: the slenderness of the evidence, the slenderness of their chances.
