Largehearted → It is formed from "large" (from Old French *large*, meaning broad or ample) and "hearted" (from "heart", which has Germanic origins, meaning the organ associated with emotions). The word "largehearted" describes someone who is generous and kind-hearted, possessing a broad capacity for compassion.
