Etymology: Derived from mesoderm + -morph by William Herbert Sheldon. Equivalent to meso- + -morph.

“They found that endomorphs had significantly greater asymmetry in arm fat than mesomorphs and ectomorphs. […] They can also achieve mesomorph qualities through resistance training (which builds muscle) and a balanced diet rich in protein.”
