slimnessnoun

sự mảnh mai

/ˈslɪmnəs//ˈslɪmnəs/

The word "slimness" has its roots in Old English and Middle English. The term "slim" originally meant " thin, spare, or lean" and was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*slimiz", which is also the source of the Modern German word "schlank". In the 14th century, the adjective "slim" gained its modern sense of "thin and in good physical condition". The corresponding noun "slimness" emerged in the 15th century, referring to the quality or state of being slim. Over time, the connotations of "slimness" shifted, and it began to connote not only physical fitness but also a desirable aesthetic quality. Today, "slimness" is often associated with fitness, health, and beauty, and is used to describe individuals or objects that are slender and well-proportioned.
