filling out

Becoming more substantial

Filling out means completing a form or document by writing in required information: Fill out this application and submit it by Friday.

The phrase also describes becoming fuller or rounder—a person filling out after gaining weight, or a thin plot filling out as details emerge.

To fill someone out on something is to inform them: Can you fill me out on what happened?
