Etymology
Lithe-bodied begins with lithe, from an old English word meaning 'flexible' or 'easy to bend', and the ending -bodied simply means 'having a body'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone 'limber' or smoothly moving, so lithe-bodied means 'having a body that is thin, flexible, and graceful'.
