Volumös

The word derives from the Latin volumen (volume) and the Swedish suffix -ös, giving it a cognate relation to the English voluminous and the term volumetric. Its use reflects the sense of substantial size or capacity.

Usage spans several contexts. In everyday language, it can describe a voluminös manuscript or a voluminös sculpture, emphasizing size and mass. In architecture and design, it may refer to forms with expansive interior or exterior volumes. In literary contexts, a voluminös work signals extensive length or breadth of content.
