slinkiness
Fluid, catlike grace
Slinkiness is the quality of being slinky—smooth, sinuous, and suggestively graceful.
The word applies to fabric that drapes and clings: the slinkiness of silk against skin.
It also describes movement that's fluid and catlike, often with seductive undertones: She moved with a deliberate slinkiness.
