massive
Immense in scale
Massive means extremely large in size, scale, or degree.
A massive boulder dwarfs what surrounds it; a massive heart attack is severe and life-threatening.
The word often intensifies: a massive undertaking, massive resistance, massive popularity.
In casual speech, massive can simply mean very impressive or significant: That concert was massive.
