Definition
The quality or state of being excessively fat; the condition of having too much body fat.
Etymology
From Latin adiposus meaning 'fatty,' derived from adeps meaning 'fat' or 'lard.' The -ity suffix converts the adjective to a noun indicating a state or condition, a pattern common in medical and scientific terminology.
Kelly Says
Adiposity is the formal medical term that replaced cruder language, reflecting how science creates neutral vocabulary to discuss sensitive health topics respectfully and precisely.
