- 1肥胖的（醫學用語，比「過重」更嚴重；口語直說會刺耳）
Obese means very fat in a way that is bad for health — not just “a bit overweight.” Doctors use it with a number in mind (body mass index over a set line), so in clinics and news it is a medical label, not a casual joke. In everyday talk it can sound harsh or , so careful speakers often say overweight, plus-size, or talk about health without the word. You can say an obese person or obese patients; of a thing (an obese cat) it is possible but less common. It is an adjective. The matching noun is obesity.
From the word’s history
From Latin obēsus, from obedō 'devour', from ob 'away' + edō 'eat'.
源自拉丁文 obēsus，來自 ob-「掉」加 edō「吃」。
組成From Latin obēsus, from obedō “to devour, eat away”: ob “away” + edō “to eat.” (The Latin word first meant “eaten away, wasted”; the “very fat” sense came later.)
