The word 'hugeous' is derived from 'huge' (from Old French *uge*, meaning large or great) and the suffix '-ous' (meaning full of or possessing). Therefore, 'hugeous' means full of or possessing great size.

Memory Tip

Think of 'huge' meaning large, and the '-ous' suffix indicating fullness — so 'hugeous' describes something that is full of size.
