ゲッソリ
Significado: Looking haggard, gaunt, or visibly drained — having lost weight or vitality from exhaustion, illness, or stress.
ゲッソリ describes the visible physical deterioration from illness, extreme stress, overwork, or grief. Sunken cheeks, dark circles, dramatic weight loss — the kind of change that makes people say 'what happened to you?' It's exclusively about appearance and always implies something negative happened. ゲッソリ痩せた means having lost an alarming amount of weight, not the healthy kind of slim.
