Extremely large or huge, much bigger than normal things of that kind.
From Greek 'gigas' (giant) plus the suffix '-ic,' which makes it an adjective. The Greek word 'gigas' came from mythology's giants, beings of immense size and power in ancient stories.
The word 'gigantic' literally means 'giant-like,' but it comes from Greek mythology where giants were not just big—they were cosmic forces that fought the gods. So when you call something gigantic, you're comparing it to these legendary beings.
