physique

Refers specifically to the structural build and proportions of a human body. It focuses on the overall shape—the 'architecture' of the person—rather than just weight or height. Carries a more clinical or aesthetic connotation than "body." While "body" is neutral, "physique" often implies an evaluation of fitness, strength, or genetic predisposition. It is frequently used in contexts like bodybuilding, athletics, or artistic anatomy. Unlike "figure," which historically leaned toward feminine curves or silhouette, "physique" is gender-neutral but often evokes a sense of muscularity or physical development.
