stubbiness
Lacking in length
Stubbiness is the quality of being short and thick rather than long and slender.
The word applies to fingers, legs, pencils, antennas—anything whose proportions seem compressed: The stubbiness of his fingers made piano difficult.
It often carries a mildly unflattering connotation, suggesting something squat or truncated.
