Usage Note

Nutrido literally means 'nourished' or 'well-fed,' but in its most common figurative use it means 'large' or 'numerous,' as in un nutrido grupo de personas ('a large group of people') or un nutrido aplauso ('hearty applause'). This extended meaning can mislead learners who only know the literal sense.
