enormous

Beyond merely large

Enormous means extremely large in size, extent, or degree.

The word carries more weight than big or large but less than colossal or gargantuan: an enormous house, enormous pressure, an enormous mistake.

Enormous often suggests something impressively or problematically oversized rather than merely big.
