hypertrophied
Grown excessively large
Hypertrophied describes something that has grown excessively large, especially through overuse or overstimulation.
In medicine, a hypertrophied muscle or organ has enlarged beyond normal size: The athlete's hypertrophied heart showed years of endurance training.
Figuratively, it suggests overdevelopment to the point of distortion: a hypertrophied sense of entitlement, hypertrophied bureaucracy.
