Relating to, composed of, or characterized by fat or fatty tissue.
From Latin adiposus (fatty), derived from adipis (fat). This term has been used in anatomy and medicine since the 1600s, making it one of the oldest in this family.
Your 'adipose tissue' is technically an organ—it produces hormones, regulates temperature, and protects your organs, so it's way more sophisticated than just 'stored junk.'
