The story

1. Latin · derived fromadeps“fat, lard”
2. New Latin · borrowed fromadipōsus
3. English todayadipose

From international scientific vocabulary, from New Latin adipōsus, from Latin adeps (“fat, lard”). By surface analysis, adip- + -ose; Latin adeps (“fat, lard”) is probably related to Umbrian 𐌀𐌛𐌄𐌐𐌄𐌔 (ařepes, “offerings of fat”) since 𐌛 (ř) in Umbrian regularly represents an earlier *d.
