The condition or quality of having bowlegs; a permanent or semi-permanent outward curvature of the legs.
From 'bowlegged' + '-ness' (a suffix forming nouns expressing states or qualities). This noun form allows the condition itself to be discussed as a distinct medical or physical characteristic.
This condition can result from rickets, genetics, or constant physical activity—medical history shows that analyzing bowleggedness in skeletal remains actually helps archaeologists understand what jobs ancient people did!
