Giantry

/ˈdʒaɪəntri/ noun

Definition

The realm, domain, or collective domain of giants; the state, practice, or behavior associated with giants; giant-like qualities or grandiosity.

Etymology

From 'giant' + '-ry' (a suffix forming nouns denoting domains, practices, or collections). The '-ry' suffix comes from Old French '-rie' and Germanic roots, as in 'archery', 'sorcery', or 'witchcraft'.

Kelly Says

Like 'sorcery' or 'witchcraft', 'giantry' suggests not just the beings themselves but their entire realm of behavior and power—it's a poetic term more likely to appear in fantasy novels than everyday speech.
