filling

filling
NounAdjective
pl: fillings

When used as a noun, this word shifts between a process, a culinary ingredient, and a medical restoration. In a culinary context, it refers to the interior substance of a baked good, whereas in dentistry, it refers to the material used to plug a cavity. These two noun senses are distinct and never interchangeable.

As an adjective, the word describes food that satisfies hunger for a long period. It carries a positive connotation of heartiness and satiety, distinguishing it from food that is merely "large" or "heavy," which might imply an unpleasant feeling of overfullness.
