Greater in importance, size, seriousness or rank than most others of the same kind.
Major marks something out as more significant or larger in scale than the ordinary, whether describing a major decision, a major city or a major illness. It is regularly contrasted with minor, which marks the lesser or smaller case in the same comparison.
