Etymology
The word 'fatted' originates from the Old English term 'fรฆtian,' which means 'to make fat' or 'to fatten.' It is related to the Middle English 'fatten,' which carries the same meaning. Historically, the practice of fattening livestock has been an essential aspect of agriculture, especially in societies that relied on animal husbandry for food. Fattening typically involves providing more food than usual, including grains and other high-energy feeds, to achieve a desirable weight and condition before selling or slaughtering the animal. The word has since evolved to be used more broadly in modern contexts, reflecting not only physical attributes but also metaphorical uses associated with abundance or excess.
