means A hulk is a massive, bulky person or thing — or, as a verb, to loom or lumber about in a big-bodied way.

from From Old English 'hulc,' meaning a heavy, clumsy ship — the word originally described a big-bellied cargo vessel built for bulk, not speed. By the 1300s 'hulk' had drifted onto land, used for any big, unwieldy thing or body, and eventually any oversized, lumbering person. The ship sense survives too — an old wrecked or abandoned vessel is still called a 'hulk.' Possibly related to Greek 'holkas,' a towed ship, though the chain of borrowing through Latin and Old English is tangled and not fully settled.
