疲れやせる usually means to lose weight. I think it should stay.

Not common enough to worry about any theoretical "weight loss" sense I don't think

A Japanese layman's introduction to emaciation, "a term you probably haven't heard", about extremely excessive weight loss

Recommend dropping "weight loss" gloss.

===

I don't like just deleting things other people have gone out of their way to add, so I'll just leave the remark.

I'm sure GG5's glosses are usually very good, but I don't feel like "weight loss" is helping out here, especially in the J->E direction.

The is the wikipedia headword for "emaciation".  And it's already a relatively rare term(no one needs to find this on a search for "weight loss").

Google image search returns what one would expect.
