immense

Beyond ordinary scale

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

An immense fortune, an immense challenge, an immense improvement.

The word carries more weight than simply big or huge—it suggests something difficult to measure or comprehend: The immense scale of the universe humbles us.
