eurysome en · ADJ
Pronunciation
- /ˈjʊəɹɪ.səm/ (Received-Pronunciation)
- /ˈjʊɹə.səm/ (General-American)
Etymology
From eury- (“thick”) + -some (“body”).
Meanings
-
Broad-bodied; wide-bodied or thick-limbed in proportion to height or length.
The majority of such typings are bipolar, and they amount in the last analysis to saying that there are broader-bodied and narrower-bodied individuals in every group. To put this simple and in itself harmless finding learnedly, we substitute the terms “eurysome” and “leptosome.”
