grande
Sixteen-ounce option
Grande is the Italian and Spanish word for large, borrowed into English mainly through coffee shop sizing.
At Starbucks, grande is paradoxically the medium size—larger than tall but smaller than venti.
The word also appears in phrases like Rio Grande and arroyo grande, where it retains its original meaning of big or great.
