grandeza

/ɡɾanˈdeθa/ · B2 · noun · f

magnificence

🏰👑 grandeza = grande (big) + -eza (state of) → state of being big

Spanish grande means big, and the suffix -eza turns an adjective into a noun for a quality, like belleza from bello. So grandeza is the quality of being great: grandeur, or the rank of a Spanish grandee.
