Writers employ the term "emaciated" to evoke images of extreme physical frailty, often symbolizing both bodily deterioration and deeper suffering. For instance, a character’s appearance may be rendered as unnervingly gaunt to reflect years of hardship or illness, as seen in descriptions of older figures who, though numerically young, appear aged by the ravages of life [1] or whose features convey the profound toll of endless struggle [2]. At times the term underlines the stark contrast between external weakness and an inner persistence, emphasizing the desolation wrought by disease, poverty, or spiritual torment [3][4]. This carefully chosen word thus serves not only as a physical descriptor but also as a means to deepen the narrative’s emotional and thematic impact, creating a vivid portrait of human vulnerability and decline [5][6].
