prettygoodwordgracile (GRAS-il) - adj., gracefully slender.
Can be considered a uncommon synonym for graceful, but in anthropology and archaeology, the antonym is robust. Borrowed around 1620 from Latin gracilis, slender/thin, with a sense influenced by the originally unrelated grace (which stems from Latin grātia, kindness/esteem).
