grandioso

/ɡɾanˈdjoso/ · A2 · adj

great, grandiose

🏰 grandioso = grande (big) + -oso (full of): full of bigness

Built from grande plus the suffix -oso, the Spanish twin of English -ous. English grandiose is the same word, borrowed through French from Italian grandioso, so the meaning carries over almost unchanged.
