The word cellulite is a combination of the French word for "cell" and the suffix "-ite," meaning disease.

Cellulite is known in the medical community as localized lipodystrophy - meaning misshapen fat in one or several specific areas of the body.

Recent research has shown that in fact it has less to do with the fat cells, and more to do with the connective tissue that shape the fat and keep it in place. Read more about how this works in What Is Cellulite .
