Etymology

The word 'tubby' originates from the late 19th century, derived from an earlier form 'tub', which means a cylindrical container that is often wide and deep. The idea of something being 'tubby' implies a resemblance to the shape of a tub, suggesting roundness and fullness. Itโ€™s often used in informal contexts to convey a sense of joviality or innocence associated with being plump. The comparative form 'tubbier' naturally follows standard English morphological rules to indicate a greater degree of the quality it describes. Initially, the term might have been more neutral, but over time, its usage has evolved to carry varying connotations depending on the context. In contemporary culture, 'tubby' and 'tubbier' can appear in discussions around body image, health, and sometimes even in endearing contexts, changing its perception over time.
