means Having prominent or protruding bones, or being thin to the point that the skeleton shows through.
from Built straight from "bone," which comes from Old English "ban" — a word shared across the old Germanic family (German "Bein," now meaning 'leg,' once meant 'bone' too). Add the everyday "-y" suffix that turns a thing into a quality ("dirt" to "dirty," "bone" to "bony"), and you get an adjective for anything where the underlying frame insists on being seen.
