Etymology
The word fleshiness comes from flesh, meaning 'body tissue' or 'meat', and the ending -ness, meaning 'state of'. So, fleshiness describes being full of soft body tissue, which helps you remember it means 'plump', 'thick', or 'juicy' when talking about a person's face or the inside of a fruit.
