Plump, jolly, and healthy-looking, especially used in Scottish English to describe a person with a cheerful, well-fed appearance.
From Scottish Gaelic gasda meaning 'fine' or 'good.' It entered English through Scots dialect and has been used since at least the 18th century to describe people who looked sturdy and well-nourished.
This is a wonderful Scottish word that's almost always used as a compliment—it suggests someone is hearty and content, not just overweight. Robert Burns used similar words in his poetry, and it tells you something about Scottish culture that they had specific vocabulary for cheerful, well-fed health.
