sinewy
This term describes a specific type of physical toughness characterized by lean strength rather than bulk. When applied to a human physique, it carries a positive connotation of athletic efficiency and resilience, evoking an image of cords of muscle rather than large, rounded masses.
In the context of food, the word shifts to a negative connotation. It describes meat that is difficult to chew due to an excess of connective tissue and tendons, emphasizing a rubbery or stringy texture that detracts from the eating experience.
