dwarfed
Loomed large over
Dwarfed means made to appear small by comparison.
A towering building dwarfs the houses around it; a celebrity's salary dwarfs an average worker's.
The word comes from dwarf—the mythical small creature—and implies that something large or significant has been reduced to seeming insignificant: The skyscraper dwarfed everything on the block.
Less commonly, dwarfed describes something actually stunted in growth: a dwarfed bonsai tree.
