tubbiness

/tˈʌbɪnəs/ noun

The state of being tubby; chubbiness.

Word Origin Tubbiness comes from 'tubby,' which is 'tub' + 'y' (like 'full of tub'), and then '-ness' to make it a noun. The word 'tub' originally meant a wooden vessel, and calling someone 'tubby' is a playful way of saying they're round like a tub. The doubling of the 'b' in 'tubby' is a spelling quirk to keep the vowel short. Related words include 'bathtub' and 'tubful.'
