Meaning of "pachydermatous" in English

The term "pachydermatous" is an adjective in English that refers to having thick skin or being thick-skinned. It is often used metaphorically to describe someone who is insensitive to criticism or emotions, showing a lack of sensitivity or emotional responsiveness. The word originates from the Greek "pachydermos," which was used to describe large, thick-skinned animals like elephants and rhinoceroses. In contemporary usage, it can also refer to actual physical thickening of the skin or hide in biological terms.

Meaning of "pachydermatous" in French

In French, "pachydermatous" retains a similar meaning as in English, referring to thick or tough skin. It can describe both individuals who demonstrate a lack of sensitivity or emotional response to external stimuli and the physiological condition of having thick skin.
