Etymology

The word 'voluptuousness' originates from the Latin word 'voluptas', which means sensual pleasure or delight. It has evolved through Middle French as 'voluptueux' into its current English form. The use of voluptuousness in the English language became prominent in the 17th century, coinciding with the flourishing of art and literature that celebrated sensuality and beauty. Over time, the term has maintained its connotation of physical attractiveness, particularly in relation to a well-defined and curvy body, while also embodying a broader sense of indulgence and enjoyment in life. Today, voluptuousness is often used in discussions about body positivity and the appreciation of diverse body types.
