Hi,
can someone tell me what the word is for the strongest sense of great size? (if there is a word for it) Because, it seems that if you are going to reference large as the "second weakest" you ought to tell us where to find the strongest word. If there is no term other than "great size" then I suppose my concern is misplaced.
I apologize if I am breaking some sort of rule by asking a question here. Thanks in advance for addressing my concern.

Large is used idiomatically as an adverb only after the verbs bulk and loom --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:56, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
This phrasal adjective is usually redundant. The predominant form (twice as common) is large-sized. Although large-sized apparel is defensible, large-sized business is not --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:51, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
