voluminøst

Voluminøst is a Norwegian adjective that translates to voluminous, bulky, or massive in English. It is used to describe something that is large in size, volume, or extent. This can apply to physical objects, abstract concepts, or even abstract qualities. For instance, a person might have voluminøst hair, meaning it is thick and abundant. A library could have a voluminøst collection of books, indicating a very large number. The term can also describe the capacity or extent of something, such as a voluminøst report detailing many aspects of a subject.

The word derives from the Latin word "volumen," meaning a roll or scroll, which itself comes from "volvere," to roll.
