full-figured
This term serves as a social lubricant, functioning as a polite euphemism to avoid the harsher connotations of words like fat or obese. It is almost exclusively applied to women, framing a larger body size as a rounded or curvaceous silhouette rather than a lack of fitness.
Because it is intended to be complimentary or neutral, it is frequently found in the fashion industry and retail marketing. Using it in a clinical or strictly medical context would be inappropriate, as its primary purpose is to soften the delivery of a physical description in social or commercial settings.
