fat′ly adv.fat′ness n.Synonyms: fat, overweight, obese, corpulent, portly, stout, pudgy, rotund, plump¹, chubby
These adjectives mean having an abundance and often an excess of flesh. Fat implies more weight than one desires or than is considered desirable by social norms: was getting fat and decided to exercise. Overweight conveys the sense that the weight is above a medical standard for age or height and may be unhealthy: oversized garments for overweight customers. Another word with medical connotations, obese means grossly overweight: "a woman of robust frame ... though stout, not obese" (Charlotte Brontë).
While corpulent also refers to conspicuous body weight, it is not always as judgmental a term as obese: the corpulent figure of the seated Buddha. Portly refers to bulk combined with a stately or imposing bearing: A portly guard blocked the doorway. Stout denotes a thickset, bulky figure: a painting of stout peasants. Pudgy means short and fat: pudgy fingers. Rotund refers to the roundness of figure associated with a spreading midsection: "this pink-faced rotund specimen of prosperity" (George Eliot).
Plump and chubby apply to a pleasing fullness of figure: a plump little toddler; chubby cheeks.

fat

(făt) Any of a large number of oily compounds that are widely found in plant and animal tissues and serve mainly as a reserve source of energy. In mammals, fat is deposited beneath the skin and around the internal organs, where it also protects and insulates against heat loss. Fats are made chiefly of triglycerides, each molecule of which contains three fatty acids. See more at saturated fat, unsaturated fat.Did You Know? Millions of Americans are trying to lose adipose tissue, also known as fat. It's hard to do, because we love to eat fatty foods, which usually taste good. Many of the chemicals that give food pleasant flavors are easily dissolved in fats—the fattier a food is, the more of these flavorful compounds it may carry. Having some fat is necessary. Just as a city keeps extra water in a reservoir, we store reservoirs of energy most efficiently as fat. An ounce of fat, for example, contains more than twice as much stored energy—calories—as does an ounce of protein or carbohydrates. Fat is also an excellent insulator. Sea mammals, such as whales, have thick layers of fat, called blubber, to keep them comfortable in chilly waters. A whale's blubber may be two feet thick—now that's fat!
