Roomy

Roomy is an adjective describing space that is abundant or comfortable. It is commonly used of interiors, vehicles, and containers where the amount of usable space is a notable feature. For example, a roomy kitchen implies easy movement and ample storage; a roomy trunk means considerable cargo capacity; a roomy sedan offers generous leg room for passengers.

The term derives from the noun room, with the adjective suffix -y to indicate a characteristic or quality. It is widely used in both American and British English, and it appears frequently in everyday speech as well as in marketing language.

Roomy emphasizes practicality and comfort associated with space, rather than just the total size. Related synonyms include spacious, capacious, and commodious. However, roomy tends to be more casual and commonly found in advertising, while commodious can sound more formal or literary. The word is typically applied to spaces or objects rather than to people.
