Explanation
Enormous means very, very large in size, amount, or degree. It is bigger than usual or normal. For example, an elephant is enormous compared to a cat. We also say enormous when talking about a large effort, problem, or success, not only physical size. For example, “She made an enormous effort to finish her work on time.” You can think of it as something so big that it is hard to ignore. Enormous can describe objects, feelings, or achievements.
