[piel] hipernutrida hypernourished [skin] Explanation: "Well-nourished" connotes a good thing (it goes along nicely with "no swelling"), but "overhourished" would be a bad thing (see definition below). To avoid giving an incorrect impression, I think it's safer to stick with the cognate and let the author be responsible. According to Dorland, "hypernutrition" is "overfeeding and its ill effects." It does not give a cross-reference to "overnutrition," which means that "hypernutrition" is an accepted term in its own right. |
