stature
Reputation or tallness
Stature is height, especially of a person standing upright: a man of imposing stature.
The word extends to reputation or standing—someone of great stature commands respect through achievement or influence: a scientist of international stature.
Both senses share the idea of how large someone looms, literally or figuratively.
