More muscular, stronger, or having more physical bulk and strength compared to something else.
Comparative form of 'brawny,' from Middle English, likely derived from 'brawne' meaning muscle or flesh, ultimately from Germanic roots.
Brawny used to describe literal muscle meat, which is why calling someone 'brawny' literally means they have bulky meat on their bones—it's a delightfully specific way to describe muscles!
