zaftig - adj., having a full shapely figure, pleasantly plump.


Plump with the strong connotations of attractively so. From Yiddish again, of course, literally meaning juicy, from Middle High German saftec, from saft, juice. And that completes this second Yiddishkeit week. Back to the usual mix next week.
