supersize
Make much bigger
Supersize means to increase dramatically in size, especially to upgrade a fast-food order to a larger portion: Do you want to supersize that?
The term originated with McDonald's meal options but now applies broadly to anything made much bigger than standard: supersized SUVs, a supersized ego.
As an adjective, it describes things notably larger than normal.
