fattening
Fattening primarily refers to the process of gaining weight, often in the context of livestock where animals are fed with the purpose of increasing their weight or the thickness of the fat layer for better meat quality. It can also refer to the act of consuming an excessive amount of high-calorie food, leading to weight gain in humans. This term can be used in a broader sense to refer to the action of making something larger, thicker, or broader.
