1913 webster
syn: stout, corpulent, portly.
usage: corpulent has reference simply to a superabundance or
excess of flesh. portly implies a kind of stoutness or
corpulence which gives a dignified or imposing
appearance. stout, in our early writers as in the
english bible, was used chiefly or wholly in the
sense of strong or bold; as, a stout champion; a stout
heart; a stout resistance, etc. at a later period it
was used for thickset or bulky, and more recently,
especially in england, the idea has been carried still
further, so that taylor says in his synonyms: "the
stout man has the proportions of an ox; he is
corpulent, fat, and fleshy in relation to his size."
in america, stout is still commonly used in the
original sense of strong as, a stout boy; a stout
pole.
