The upper parts of your legs between your hips and knees; plural of thigh.
From Old English 'thēoh' or 'thēh,' related to Old Norse 'thvá' (thigh). The word has remained virtually unchanged for over 1,000 years, suggesting it was important enough in early Germanic languages to keep its form.
Your thigh muscles are the largest muscles in your body and contain the most strength—a single human thigh can generate more power than many animals, which is why humans are surprisingly good runners compared to creatures our size.
