husky
When describing a voice, this term suggests a textured, breathy quality that often conveys intimacy, exhaustion, or emotional distress. It differs from hoarse, which typically implies a more jarring or damaged sound, by retaining a certain richness or depth.
In the context of physique, the word serves as a polite euphemism for a person who is large and sturdy. It emphasizes strength and breadth rather than excess weight, making it a common descriptor in clothing sizes for children and adolescents who outgrow standard slim cuts.
