Origin & History

From the adjective “lanky” (early 18th century), likely from dialectal English “lank” meaning ‘thin, lank’ (related to “lank” = not full, slack), + the superlative suffix “-est.”

विशेषण “lanky” (प्रारम्भिक 18वीं सदी) से, संभवतः अंग्रेज़ी बोलियों के “lank” (‘दुबला/ढीला’) से; इसमें सर्वोत्तम रूप बनाने वाला प्रत्यय “-est” जुड़कर “lankiest” बना।

Definition

“Lankiest” describes someone or something that is the most lanky—very tall and thin, often with long limbs and a slightly awkward or ungainly appearance, especially compared with others.

“Lankiest” ‘lanky’ का सर्वोत्तम (superlative) रूप है—किसी समूह की तुलना में सबसे अधिक दुबला‑पतला और लंबे कद/लंबे हाथ‑पैर वाला, अक्सर थोड़ा अटपटा या बेढंगा दिखने वाला।
