means Strictly, it means a monstrous wickedness or outrageous evil — though everyday use has worn it down into a fancy synonym for 'enormous size,' a drift purists still resist.

from From Latin 'enormis' — 'e-' (out of) plus 'norma' (a carpenter's square, a pattern or rule) — so literally 'out of the norm, off the ruler.' It first meant deviating monstrously from moral or natural order, and only later did English speakers start bending it toward sheer physical hugeness, much to the dismay of usage sticklers.
