Of, relating to, or resembling a colossus; extraordinarily large, powerful, or impressive in scale.
From colossus + -ean (suffix forming adjectives meaning 'of or relating to'). The -ean suffix appears in words like 'Aegean' and 'European,' indicating belonging to or association with something.
While 'colossal' is the more common form today, 'colossean' preserves the direct connection to the actual Colossus of Rhodes, making it the more etymologically pure way to say 'as big as that ancient wonder.'
