buff
Toned body type
Buff was originally a kind of buffalo leather.
Other meanings, some quite divergent, can be traced back to that.
Buff is a tannish color.
If you’re in the buff, you have no clothes on.
When you buff something, you polish it (perhaps using buff to do the job!).
Finally, a fan or collector of something may also be a buff: My brother is a film buff.
As a verb, buff is sometimes used like buffer and means to deaden or mitigate the force of something.
