- Analysis
The word ‘slender’ can be used in both a positive and negative way. In the context of a person’s physical appearance, particularly a woman’s, to be described as ‘slender’ is a compliment as it means that you are lean and in shape. However, in the context of amount, scope, or degree, ‘slender’ denotes a disadvantageous limitation.
