   4. large; bulky; corpulent.
      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.
