PAMPERED Meaning and Definition

  1. Pampered is an adjective used to describe someone or something that is excessively indulged, spoiled, or treated with excessive care or attention, often resulting in a sense of entitlement or dependency.

    When referring to individuals, a pampered person is someone who is accustomed to being treated lavishly, often with luxurious gifts, constant attention, and the fulfillment of their every desire. They may have grown accustomed to special treatment, leading to a sense of entitlement or an inability to handle discomfort or adverse situations. This oversensitivity may make them less resilient or self-sufficient compared to others.

    When referring to objects or animals, pampered describes items that are well cared for or looked after, often receiving special treatments or accommodations to ensure their comfort and longevity. For instance, a pampered pet may receive regular grooming sessions, special diets, and even lavish accessories. Similarly, a pampered car may be meticulously maintained, serviced regularly, and garage-kept to protect it from any potential damage.

    Overall, being pampered implies an elevated level of attention, comfort, or luxury that goes beyond what is typically considered necessary or expected. While it may be regarded as a positive experience for some, it can also lead to dependency or an inclination towards a lavish lifestyle, potentially limiting one's ability to cope with adversity or appreciate the value of more modest circumstances.

  2. Furnished with that which pleases the appetite; over-fed; over-indulged.
