embonpoint
Fleshy body type
Embonpoint is plumpness or stoutness, especially in a woman.
The word is borrowed from French and carries a slightly old-fashioned, genteel quality—a polite or even admiring way to describe fullness of figure: Her embonpoint was considered fashionable in that era.
The term often implies comfortable prosperity rather than unhealthy excess.
