Something like obesity forcing MB into open (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embonpoint

'something like obesity' is the definition.
(embonpoint can mean plumpness)

'forcing mb into open' is the wordplay.
'forcing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mb'+'into'+'open'='mbintoopen'
'mbintoopen' anagrammed gives 'EMBONPOINT'.

(Other definitions for embonpoint that I've seen before include "stout" , "Stoutness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
