the condition of being grossly overweight
from Latin obesitas, from obesus 'having eaten until fat'
Obesity begins with 'obese' - remember that extra weight carries extra health risks!
Medical and social discourse around obesity disproportionately blames and stigmatizes women. Women's bodies are pathologized more heavily than men's for identical BMI measurements, reflecting gendered scrutiny.
Use clinical language when appropriate. Avoid moralizing tone. Recognize that weight discussions carry gendered judgment; maintain scientific precision without stigma.
