Definition: The word "adiaphoretic" appears in Latin (Latin: adiporeti, from a dip) and English as a verb meaning to remove or remove excess. The term was first used by Ptolemy, the 2nd century A.D., who wrote about it, saying that it had been discovered in Egypt. It is derived from "adipore", which means "fatness". In everyday language, an adiporean person might be someone who is excessively fat. The term has also been applied to a disease characterized by excessive weight loss. The word comes from the Latin adjective "adipoidum" meaning "of fatness or excess," and refers to a condition in which the body produces too much fat, often as a result of dieting. Adiporean people are typically considered obese by most medical authorities but they are not necessarily considered morbidly obese. They may also have normal weight for their age and height. Some types of obesity may be due to genetic predispositions or environmental factors that affect the body's metabolism or insulin sensitivity.
