Stout Meaning in English

word

ˈstaʊt
STOWT
stˈaʊt
STOWT

Definition

Describes someone or something that is strong and thick, sometimes with a short and heavy build. Also refers to a dark, strong type of beer.

Usage & Nuances

'Stout' is slightly old-fashioned for describing people and is more polite than words like 'fat.' It is used for both physical build ('a stout man') and objects ('a stout rope'). When talking about beer, 'stout' always means the dark, strong type. Don't confuse it with 'stout-hearted' (brave).
