Dusty and thin (4)
I believe the answer is:
slim
This might be a double definition.
'dusty' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'thin' is the second definition.
(I know that thin can be written as slim)
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slim that I've seen before include "Thin; WWtwo Burma commander" , "Annual horse race" , "Elegantly thin or slender" , "Slender and elegant" , "without much body" .)
