Etymology: "Embonpoints" is the plural of "embonpoint," which English borrowed from French, where "en bon point" literally meant "in good condition." The French phrase originally described general good health and fitness, and the sense of a plump, well-fleshed figure grew out of that idea of a healthy body.
