A state of plumpness or slight obesity; a pleasant roundness of the body, especially as a sign of health or prosperity.
From French, literally 'in good condition' (en bon point). The French phrase combines 'en' (in) + 'bon' (good) + 'point' (condition/state), reflecting Renaissance ideals of body and health.
The French word 'embonpoint' reveals history—when it was coined, a round body meant you were healthy and rich enough to eat well, so the word carries the prosperity values of Renaissance Europe!
