thinnish
Rather on the lean side
Somewhat thin, but not remarkably so.
Thinnish suggests a quality that approaches thin without fully arriving there—a thinnish crowd, a thinnish plot, a thinnish slice of cake.
The suffix softens the judgment, making it more tentative or polite than calling something outright thin.
