An archaic adjective meaning short and stockily built — thick through the middle, low to the ground, and generally round in silhouette. The word predates its most famous association and simply described a dumpy physical build. While the adjective itself has largely fallen out of use in modern English, it lives on through the nursery rhyme character Humpty Dumpty, whose very name was chosen to evoke exactly this round, precarious shape sitting improbably on a wall.
