hulky

/hˈʌlki/ adj

Large; hulking.

Word Origin Hulky is the adjective from 'hulk,' meaning like a hulk — big, bulky, unwieldy. 'Hulk' originally meant a large ship, from Old English 'hulc.' Over time, it came to mean any large, clumsy object or person. The '-y' suffix makes it 'having the qualities of a hulk.' Related words: 'hulking' (as in 'a hulking figure'), 'hulkish.'
