Filled answer is this word (SLIM).
Definitions
Thin, narrow, or small in amount.
Word origin
Borrowing from Low German or Dutch slim (“bad, sly, clever”), from Middle Dutch slim (“bad, crooked”), from Old Dutch *slimb, from Proto-West Germanic *slimb, from Proto-Germanic *slimbaz (“oblique, crooked”). The sense development would have been "slanting, cunning" (Dutch) > "insignificant, slight" and then "thin, graceful" in English, a shift that Liberman calls an "incredible amelioration" of word meaning.
Used in a sentence
“Movie stars are usually slim, attractive, and young.”
“I'm afraid your chances are quite slim.”
“Juries who will convict on the slimmest evidence.”
