stringy
This term describes a physical texture dominated by linear fibers. When applied to food, it carries a dual connotation: it is often negative when referring to tough, woody fibers in vegetables like celery or rhubarb that hinder chewing, but positive when describing the elastic, stretching quality of melted cheeses.
In a biological or anatomical sense, the word describes a specific type of leanness. It suggests a physique that is not necessarily bulky or athletic in a traditional sense, but rather wiry and lean, emphasizing endurance and sinew over raw power.
