fulsome

[Bailey]

I came across this in total, hope you like it,

fulsome (adj) offensive to good taste, esp. as being excessive; overdone or gross; disgusting; sickening; repulsive; excessively or insincerely lavish

This word comes from the Middle English fulsom, meaning 'abundant, well-fed, arousing disgust.'

dictionary.com explains the different nuances of meaning: "In the 13th century when it was first used, fulsome meant simply “abundant or copious.” It later developed additional senses of “offensive, gross” and “disgusting, sickening,” probably by association with foul, and still later a sense of excessiveness: a fulsome disease; a fulsome meal, replete with too much of everything. For some centuries fulsome was used exclusively, or nearly so, with these unfavorable meanings.
"Today, both fulsome and fulsomely are also used in senses closer to the original one: The sparse language of the new Prayer Book contrasts with the fulsome language of Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer. Later they discussed the topic more fulsomely. These uses are often criticized on the grounds that fulsome must always retain its connotations of “excessive” or “offensive.” The common phrase fulsome praise is thus sometimes ambiguous in modern use."

fulsome
M.E. compound of ful "full" + -som "some." Sense evolved from "abundant, full" (c.1250) to "plump, well-fed" (c.1350) to "overgrown, overfed" (1642) and thus, of language, "offensive to taste or good manners" (1663). Since the 1960s, however, it commonly has been used in its original, favorable sense, especially in fulsome praise.
