rangy

Rangy is an English adjective used to describe something, typically a person or animal, that has a long, slender, and athletic build, often with long legs. The term frequently conveys a sense of height and stretch rather than bulk, and it may imply agility. It is commonly applied to horses, dogs, or people described as tall and rangy. The connotation can be neutral, positive, or occasionally critical, depending on context.

The word derives from range, with the -y suffix, and is used to describe length or lankiness.
