الحَيزَبون هي المرأة إذا كبرت وانحنى قدّها ولمّا تعجز بعد

Means, that she looks old despite her younger age.
I couldn't find any meanings for that in the dictonary but the ones already suggested and one more: hag/ crone/ witch/ old woman
But I really don't think any of them is specific here, and I can't find a word that indicates the meaning either!
