Giant

Orange and black

Giant describes something of extraordinary size—far beyond the normal scale.

A giant is an immense being, often appearing in mythology and folklore as a humanoid creature of tremendous stature.

The word extends to anyone or anything exceptionally large or powerful: a giant of industry, a tech giant, giant sequoias.

As an adjective, giant emphasizes unusual magnitude: a giant leap, giant portions.

The San Francisco Giants and New York Giants are professional sports teams.
