Etymology
The word 'immense' comes from the Latin word 'immensus', which means 'immeasurable' or 'infinite.' The prefix 'im-' signifies negation, while 'mensus' is derived from 'metiri,' which means 'to measure.' Hence, the original sense of 'immense' conveys the idea of something so large that it cannot be measured. Over time, 'immense' was adopted into Old French as 'immens,' and from there entered the English language during the late Middle Ages. The comparative form 'immenser' follows the conventional pattern of creating comparatives in English, marking a step beyond 'immense' to denote an even greater degree of size or magnitude. The usage of 'immenser' may not be commonly found in everyday language, but it can appear in more poetic or literary contexts, emphasizing the extraordinary and boundless nature of a subject.
