• 姿すがた — figure, appearance
• 姿勢しせい — posture, attitude
• 容姿ようし — physical appearance

姿 combines 女 (woman/feminine) with 次 (next, sequence) to represent outer form or shape, especially graceful appearance. The word すがた can mean one’s figure, attire, or visible state in a scene.

It extends in compounds like 姿勢 (しせい), where it suggests both physical posture and one’s mental attitude.

彼かれの 姿すがたが 見みえなくなりました。
I can no longer see his figure.

姿勢しせいを よくすると 印象いんしょうが よくなります。
Improving your posture gives a better impression.
