Fleshier

/ˈflɛʃiər/ adjective

Definition

Comparative form of fleshy; more plump, more muscular, or having more bodily substance than something else.

Etymology

From 'flesh' plus '-y' (adjective suffix) plus '-er' (comparative suffix). The '-y' suffix turns nouns into adjectives, and '-er' makes comparatives—a double suffix formation.

Kelly Says

English lets us stack suffixes like building blocks—'flesh' becomes 'fleshy' becomes 'fleshier,' and we can keep going with 'fleshiest'—it's like grammatical LEGO!
