leanness

/ˈɫinnəs/ noun

The property of being lean, without excess or fat.

Word Origin From Old English hlæne 'lean, thin, meager' — so leanness is the quality of being thin, without fat. The root goes back to Proto-Germanic *hlainjaz 'lean,' and it's related to German klein 'small'? Actually, klein is from a different root. The family includes leaning (as in a lean-to, a structure that leans). The idea: leanness is a lack of flesh, a spareness.
