Definition
swollen or filled to capacity with blood, liquid, or food.
Etymology
Past participle of engorge, formed by adding -ed. The adjective describes the state of being filled to the point of swelling, commonly used in medical and biological contexts.
Kelly Says
The word 'engorged' appears frequently in medical textbooks to describe tissues during inflammation or infection—when blood vessels become engorged, that's why you get swelling, redness, and warmth at the site of a mosquito bite.
