Chubbedness

/ˈtʃʌbɪdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being chubby; the condition of having a rounded, plump body.

Etymology

From 'chubby' (of obscure origin, possibly from Old English 'chub' referring to the fish) plus the suffix '-edness' which turns adjectives into nouns describing their qualities.

Kelly Says

The word 'chub' originally referred to a round freshwater fish, and people probably called chubby humans 'chubby' because they resembled these plump fish! This shows how animal names often jump to human descriptions.
