giant
Towering mythical creature
A giant is something of extraordinary size.
The original giants were mythological humanoid beings of immense stature—creatures like Goliath or the Titans who warred with the gods.
The word extends to anything unusually large: a giant tortoise, a giant sequoia, a giant of industry.
As an adjective, giant means huge: a giant leap forward.
Someone can be a giant in their field without being physically imposing—the term honors exceptional influence or achievement.
