dumpyadj.²n.

Brit.

/ˈdʌmpi/, U.S.

/ˈdəmpi/

Etymology: Appears in middle of 18th cent.: not in Johnson 1755–87, nor in Ash 1775; in Todd 1818. Its form is that of a derivative from a noun dump (compare lump-y , stump-y ); but dump n.², with which it goes, is known only later, and appears to be a back-formation from this adjective. It is not obvious how these words can be connected with the other nouns and verbs of same form.

A. adj.²

Short and stout; deficient in length or stature.
