Etymology
The word 'pudgy' originated in the early 20th century, likely derived from the word 'pudgy' which was used in the United States and Canada. It is believed to have been influenced by the dialectal form 'pud,' which also means 'short and stout.' The suffix '-ier' is a common English comparative ending, indicating an increased degree or amount. Therefore, 'pudgier' came into use as a way to compare one pudgy entity to another, emphasizing its larger or rounder nature. The evolution of this word reflects societal attitudes towards body image and has often been used in both affectionate and pejorative contexts.
