leptosome

Where it comes from

From lepto- (“thin”) + -some (“body”).

adjective more leptosome · most leptosome

Narrow-bodied (in proportional to height or length). The majority of such typings are bipolar, and they amount in the last analysis to saying that there are broader-bodied and narrower-bodied individuals in every group. To put this simple and in itself harmless finding learnedly, we substitute the terms “eurysome” and “leptosome.”
Similar: slender

Opposite: eurysome

noun leptosomes

A tall, narrow-bodied, angular person.
