grasos

Grasos is a Spanish-language adjective used to describe substances or qualities that are fatty or greasy. It appears in the masculine plural form grasos, with singular masculine graso and feminine grama? Wait—let me correct that: the feminine singular is grasa, and the feminine plural is grasas. The term derives from Latin crassus, meaning thick or fat, and is cognate with related Romance-language terms for fat.

In usage, grasos commonly describes foods or tissues with high fat content. In culinary contexts, phrases such as alimentos grasos or comidas grasos refer to fatty foods. In anatomy and physiology, Spanish uses terms like tejido graso to denote adipose tissue; grasa is the noun for fat, while grasos describes items that contain fat.

Etymology and related forms reflect a common Romance-Language pattern connecting fatness with the idea of thickness. The word is predominantly found in Spanish-language contexts; in Portuguese, equivalent adjectives are typically formed differently (for example, gordo or gorduroso), so grasos is not standard there.

Grasos is not widely used as a proper noun; there are no well-documented places, organizations, or events named Grasos in major encyclopedic sources.
