Becoming fatty or relating to the formation of fat tissue; tending toward adiposity.
From Latin 'adeps' (fat) + '-escent' (becoming). The suffix indicates a process of becoming or developing over time.
Medical language uses 'adipescent' to describe tissue that's in the process of getting fatter, but it's so technical that doctors usually just say 'fatty' or 'obese,' showing how specialist terminology often loses to simpler words.
