bellied

This term describes a specific physical curvature, evoking an image of outward expansion or swelling. When applied to inanimate objects, it suggests a functional or aesthetic fullness, often associated with craftsmanship in glassware, pottery, or architecture.

In a human context, the word carries a descriptive, often blunt quality. While it can be neutral, it frequently leans toward a critical or caricatured depiction of physique, particularly when modified as "pot-bellied," which specifically targets abdominal protrusion.
