puffed
Swelled with air
Puffed describes something swollen with air or inflated beyond its usual size.
Puffed sleeves billow outward; puffed rice has been expanded by heat and pressure.
Someone puffed from exertion is out of breath: He arrived puffed after climbing the stairs.
To be puffed up is to be swollen with pride or self-importance.
