## Definitions
1. Containing, composed of, or consisting of fat; fatty.
2. Slightly overweight; chubby.

## Etymology
From international scientific vocabulary, from New Latin adipōsus, from Latin adeps (“fat, lard”). By surface analysis, adip- + -ose; Latin adeps (“fat, lard”) is probably related to Umbrian 𐌀𐌛𐌄𐌐𐌄𐌔 (ařepes, “offerings of fat”) since 𐌛 (ř) in Umbrian regularly represents an earlier *d.
