INFLATED Meaning and Definition

1. "Inflated" is an adjective that describes something as being filled or enlarged beyond its usual or desired size or value. It refers to a state in which an object, a price, a statement, or a piece of information is exaggerated, expanded, or overstated. This term can be used both literally and figuratively to describe various contexts.

   In its literal sense, "inflated" often refers to a physical expansion of an object or a part of the body due to the presence of excessive air, fluid, or gas. For example, a balloon that is inflated appears larger than its original size. Similarly, a medical condition that causes an inflated abdomen suggests excessive accumulation of fluid or gas in the abdominal cavity.

   In a figurative sense, "inflated" is often used to describe an artificially increased value or price of a commodity or an asset. For instance, when the price of goods or services is artificially raised beyond its perceived worth, it is referred to as an inflated price. This term is also commonly used in discussions related to economies, finance, and markets, where an inflated value refers to an overestimated or artificially increased price of stocks, currencies, or assets due to speculative or manipulative activities.

   Furthermore, "inflated" can also describe language or statements that are intentionally exaggerated, embellished, or hyperbolic. This can be seen in instances where someone uses inflated rhetoric to convey a sense of importance or to enhance their self-image or reputation.

   Overall, "inflated" describes a state of exaggeration, enlargement, or overvaluation in both literal and figurative contexts.

2. Blown up; filled with air; pompous; full of highsounding words.

Etymology of INFLATED

The word "inflated" originates from the Latin word "inflatus", which is the past participle of the verb "inflare". "Inflare" is composed of two Latin elements: "in-" meaning "into" or "in" and "flare" meaning "to blow". Therefore, "inflatus" means "blown into" or "puffed up". Over time, the word "inflated" came to be used metaphorically to refer to things that are exaggerated or exaggeratedly filled, such as inflated prices or inflated egos.
