Etymology

The word 'plump' originates from the Middle English word 'plumpen', which is thought to be a combination of 'plump', meaning to swell or fill out, and the suffix '-en', which denotes a cause or process. This term reflects the physical act of making something fuller or larger. Over time, the usage of 'plump' has expanded to encompass not only physical objects but also beauty and cosmetic contexts. The notion of enhancing appearance through plumping relates to cultural ideals of youthfulness and vitality, thus its popularity in beauty products used in modern times. Its etymology reveals a linguistic evolution from a purely physical descriptor to one imbued with aesthetic significance.
