Definition
The state or quality of being very overweight or fat; obesity.
Etymology
A noun form created by adding the suffix '-ness' to 'corpulent,' which comes from Latin 'corpulentus.' The '-ness' suffix transforms adjectives into abstract nouns describing a quality or state, a productive pattern in English since Old English times.
Kelly Says
English loves creating nouns from adjectives by adding '-ness'—happiness, sadness, kindness—and 'corpulentness' follows this ancient pattern, though 'corpulence' (from French via Latin) is the more common choice for this concept, showing how languages develop multiple options for the same idea.
