ectomorphy
Ectomorphy is a term used in physical anthropology, referring to a body type or somatotype characterized by a lean and slender build, with relatively low levels of body fat and muscle mass. Individuals with this body type typically have long limbs and thin frames. The concept is part of the three somatotypes outlined by William Sheldon, a 20th-century psychologist, which also include mesomorphy (medium build) and endomorphy (large build). Factors such as genetics, metabolism, and diet can contribute to one's degree of ectomorphy.
