What does LARGE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Of considerable size, extent, capacity, or degree; noticeably bigger than what is usual or expected.
Large is one of the plainest words in English for describing size, and it can be applied to almost anything from a house to a number to an idea. Unlike big, which sounds more casual, large is common in formal writing, measurements, and official contexts such as clothing sizes or business reports. The word also survives in a handful of fixed phrases, most notably at large, meaning free or not yet captured, and by and large, meaning generally speaking. Large has no single opposite that covers every sense, so small, little, and minor are all used depending on what exactly is being described.
How LARGE is used
One of the most common English adjectives, used across everyday speech, formal writing, and technical contexts alike.
- They bought a large house near the coast.
- A large crowd gathered outside the stadium.
- The company reported a large increase in profits.
- He has a surprisingly large collection of maps.
- The escaped prisoner was still at large.
