Etymology

The word 'chubby' originates from the early 16th century, stemming from the Middle English 'chubbe,' which referred to a short and stout person or thing. The term 'chub' was likely derived from Old French 'chou,' meaning 'a short, stout man.' Over time, 'chubby' evolved to describe a positive perception of being plump or round, specifically when referring to individuals with a soft and appealing appearance. The comparative form 'chubbier' is thus a natural linguistic development, emerging to compare one instance of this quality against another. While 'chubby' has often carried a lighter, more endearing connotation, it's essential to consider the sensitivities surrounding body image that have arisen over the years. In modern usage, 'chubby' can be quite controversial, and it's advisable to use the term with care, particularly in sensitive contexts.
