Leibesfülle
corpulence
The German word "Leibesfülle" is a noun that translates to "corpulence" or "fullness of body." It is a compound word made from "Leib," which means "body" (often with a connotation of flesh or physical being), and "Fülle," which means "fullness" or "abundance."
"Leibesfülle" generally refers to a plump or full-bodied appearance, often associated with being overweight or having a robust physique. Similar terms in German include "Übergewicht" (overweight), "Fettleibigkeit" (obesity), and "körperliche Fülle" (bodily fullness).
The distinction between "Leibesfülle" and these similar terms is that while "Leibesfülle" implies fullness or size in a somewhat neutral tone, "Übergewicht" and "Fettleibigkeit" carry negative connotations related to health concerns.
