Definition
Relating to, composed of, or containing fat; fatty in nature.
Etymology
From Latin adiposus, derived from adeps meaning 'fat' or 'lard.' This is an older or more technical variant of 'adipose,' following Latin adjective patterns.
Kelly Says
Medieval physicians used adipous to describe the fatty tissues they observed during dissections, and the word persisted in medical texts even as 'adipose' became the more common modern term.
