With little excess

Answer:

LEANLY

Hint:

Think of how someone might describe a meal prepared without extra fat or a runner built for efficiency.

Explanation:

"With little excess" hints at something slim or trimmed down, which is where "lean" comes in. The "-ly" ending turns it into an adverb, meaning "in a lean manner." So the answer combines the idea of having no extra (lean) with how something is done (ly) to form "LEANLY." It’s a straightforward definition with a grammatical twist.
