Word origin

The word 'obese' comes from the Latin word 'obesus', which means 'having eaten until fat'. The term has been used in medical contexts since the 17th century to describe individuals with an excessive amount of body fat. In modern times, obesity is a growing health concern due to sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary habits.
