Having a body of a specified kind, usually used in compound words like 'heavybodied' or 'fullbodied' to describe how substantial something is.
From the verb 'body' plus the past participle suffix '-ed'. Relates to Old English 'bodig' meaning the physical form. The suffix indicates the state or condition of having been given a body.
Wine tasters use 'full-bodied' to describe wines with more mouth-feel and substance—it's literally applying a physical metaphor to taste, showing how we use body-language even for senses that have nothing to do with physical form.
