Great or large, used primarily in Latin phrases like 'Magna Carta' (Great Charter); not commonly used alone in English.
From Latin 'magnus' meaning great or large. Preserved mainly in historical and formal contexts where Latin phrases are used in English legal and academic writing.
Magna Carta (1215) is one of the most famous documents in the world, but most English speakers don't realize 'Magna' just means 'Great'—it's the only reason we remember this Latin word 800 years later!
