dumpier
Shorter and stockier
Dumpier is the comparative form of dumpy, meaning shorter and squatter than something else.
Dumpy describes a thick, stubby build—not tall, not slender: The newer building looked dumpier than its elegant neighbor.
The word carries mild disapproval, suggesting ungainly proportions.
