leggily
This adverb describes a specific physical gait or posture associated with long, slender limbs. It carries a descriptive, often visual quality, focusing on the awkwardness or elegance that comes from having disproportionately long legs.
Because it is a highly specific descriptive term, it is rarely used in formal or technical writing, appearing more frequently in narrative prose or descriptive storytelling to evoke a clear mental image of a person's movement.
