Beenderig

Beenderig is a Dutch adjective that translates to "bony" or "skeletal" in English. It describes something that has a prominent or noticeable framework of bones. This can refer to a person or animal that is thin or gaunt, where the bones are easily visible beneath the skin. The term can also be used more generally to describe something that is structurally composed of or resembles bones, or something that is lean and sinewy.

The connotation of beenderig can vary depending on the context. In a biological or anatomical context, it is a neutral descriptor. However, when applied to living beings, it can sometimes carry a negative implication, suggesting ill health or extreme thinness. In some cases, it might be used metaphorically to describe a structure that is stark or lacks flesh, such as a barren landscape or a poorly developed idea. The degree to which something is considered beenderig is subjective and depends on the perceived prominence of its bony structure.
