tremendous

Extremely large, remarkable

Tremendous means extraordinarily large, powerful, or intense: a tremendous explosion, tremendous pressure.

The word carries a sense of awe—something tremendous inspires strong reaction.

It often functions as an emphatic positive: a tremendous success, tremendous fun.
