Emaciated, adj.
Pronunciation: əˈmāSHēˌādəd
Meaning: When a person (or an animal) appears to be abnormally weak and thin, especially when due to illness or a lack of food, that person (or animal) could be said to be emaciated. We’ve all seen people or animals that have been neglected and are thus in a state of extreme thinness from the absence of body fat and muscle wasting away, usually from malnutrition. (One trip to any Walmart in the U.S. and you will very likely see an epidemic of the opposite condition).
