Having very little flesh on the body, so that the bones show or the limbs look slender.

The word also describes clothing cut very close to the body, as in skinny jeans, and in coffee shops it names a drink made with low-fat milk. It grows out of the plain word skin, which gives it the picture of a body with nothing much beneath the surface.
