pinguescence

Definition

pinguescence rate
The process of becoming fat; fatness, obesity.
Usage: My lesson for this week is taken from a book of 1847, Lectures on
the Principles and Practice of Physic by Thomas Watson: "Shut a
healthy pig up in a small sty, and give him as much food as he is
willing to eat, and you ensure his rapid pinguescence." How true,
even today.
