enorme

/eˈnoɾme/ · A2 · adj

enormous, huge

🐘 enorme = e- (out of) + norma (norm): beyond the normal size

From Latin enormis: e- (out of) + norma (rule, standard). Something enorme is literally off the norm, too big for the usual measure. It is the same root as English enormous, so the Spanish word is just enorm- with a final e.
