Étymologie (Anglais)

Appartenant à moyen anglais: stoor

Appartenant à ancien anglais: stōr

Appartenant à ancien anglais: myċel

In summary

From Middle English large, from Old French large, from Latin larga, feminine of largus (“abundant, plentiful, copious, large, much”), of uncertain ultimate origin; see there for more. Mostly displaced Middle English stoor, stour (“large, great”) (from Old English stōr), and muchel (“large, great”) (from Old English myċel), which has survived under a different meaning as much .
