What does ENORM mean in Scrabble?
adjective
archaic
Extremely large; enormous.
A writer describing an enorm weight or an enorm crowd meant simply that it was huge, using enorm as an older, shorter relative of the modern word enormous. Both words trace back to a Latin term built from norma, meaning a rule or pattern, so something enorm was originally understood as far outside the normal measure. English speakers gradually preferred the longer form enormous, and enorm faded from ordinary use, surviving today mainly in older texts and specialist word lists. A reader who meets enorm now will almost always find it labeled as an old or literary variant rather than as current vocabulary.
