The word "lardy" is derived from the Old French term "lard" which means "bacon fat" or "rendered pork fat". "Lard" comes from the Latin word "lardum" which has the same meaning. The term "lardy" originally referred to something being full of or resembling lard, but over time, it began to be used figuratively to describe a person who is fat or overweight.
