ginormous
adjective; blending and clipping
Extremely large. It was used to describe anything extremely large, requiring the use of two words to describe an object as humongous, but combining them into one word for ease of saying.
Etymology : ginormous. Clipping/Blending of gi(gantic) + (e)normous. [Gr. giga ‘giant’ + Lat. enormis ‘huge, monstrous’ or e/ex ‘out,away’ + norma ‘norm’ + -ous ‘A’]
