wide-bodied

Built with girth

Wide-bodied describes something having a broad body or frame.

The term appears most often with aircraft: a wide-bodied jet has a fuselage broad enough for two passenger aisles, like a 747 or Airbus A380.

Applied to people, wide-bodied is a polite or humorous way of saying heavy or fat: a wide-bodied fellow in a Hawaiian shirt.
