Picture a suitcase that closes easily with room to spare. The point is not that there is a lot — it is that there is more than the job needs, so nothing is tight. English then lends that comfortable roominess to describing a body or a shape as full.
可以想成：一個輕鬆就闔得起來、裡面還有空位的行李箱。重點不在「很多」，而在「比需要的還多」，所以一點都不擠。英文接著把這份寬鬆的餘裕借去形容身形或線條，說它豐潤好看。兩邊共通的都是「空間綽綽有餘」的感覺。
