Word origin
The word 'pudgy' is believed to have originated in the mid-19th century, likely as a diminutive form of 'pudge', which itself is a variant of the older word 'puddock'. The exact roots are somewhat unclear, but it may come from dialectal variations in English that describe a soft or rounded figure. Over time, 'pudgy' developed a specific usage in English to refer to a certain type of soft, chubby appearance, particularly in a way that is often endearing or affectionate. The transition of the word into everyday language reflects societal perceptions of body image and the use of language to convey affection. Its usage has remained stable, often applied to pets, children, and sometimes affectionate descriptions of adults.
