means Cushioned or lined with soft material for protection or comfort — or, figuratively, bulked up with unnecessary filler to seem bigger.
from From 'pad,' a soft cushion or bundle, which surfaced in English around the 16th century, possibly from a Low German or Dutch word for the sole of the foot or a cushion (compare Low German 'pad'). The padded sense — to stuff with soft stuffing — is literal; the 'padding out a speech or an expense report' sense is a metaphor that took the same stuffing and applied it to anything you wanted to make look fuller than it really is.
