ボディのある
解説 Definition
特定の体つきや本体、厚みを持つことを表す形容詞的な語で、主に複合語の後半に使います。able-bodiedは身体的な能力を、full-bodiedは飲み物などのコクや豊かな厚みを表します。
Bodied means having a body, build, substance, or degree of fullness of a specified kind. It is used mainly as the second element of compounds, such as able-bodied for physical capability and full-bodied for a rich, substantial flavor or character.
使い方 Usage
- 単独より、able-bodiedやfull-bodiedのような複合語で使うのが一般的です。 Bodied is generally used in compounds such as able-bodied and full-bodied rather than on its own.
- full-bodied wineはコクや味の厚みがあるワインを表します。名詞の前でもfull-bodiedとハイフンでつなぎます。 Full-bodied wine has richness and weight. Keep the hyphen in full-bodied when it comes before a noun.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
bodyに「〜を備えた」の-edを付け、yをiに変えるとbodied。「特定のbodyを持つ」と覚えましょう。飲み物のbodyは味の厚みを表します。
Think of bodied as body plus -ed, meaning having a particular kind of body. Change the final y to i: body becomes bodied. For drinks, body refers to weight or fullness.

bodied の語源・成り立ち Etymology
body は古英語 bodig「胴体・身体」に由来し、-ed は「〜を備えた」を表す接尾辞です。だから bodied は本来「ある体つき・形を備えた」の意で、embody や bodily にも「形あるものとして備わる」という感覚が共通しています。
Bodied is formed from body with the adjectival suffix -ed, meaning “having” or “provided with.” Body comes from Old English bodig, referring to the trunk or physical frame. In compounds, its meaning broadened from literal physique to the substance, fullness, or weight of something. This development explains both physical expressions such as able-bodied and sensory descriptions such as full-bodied wine.
