I’ve seen “cyclopean” (lower case) used to mean “huge” in fiction a few times, especially in fiction set in the past. Interestingly, this dictionary lists three meanings of the word: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/cyclopean The first is “referring to a Cyclops”. The second is “huge”. The third is in reference to these types of (megalithic) ruins. I wonder if the first meaning is the original one, and the others evolved from that meaning as our understanding of human history changed. |
