Etymology
Inherited from Old French large, from Latin largus, larga, largum (“abundant, plentiful, copious, large, much”). The feminine is inherited and even generalised for both genders, but for the old masculine, Latin largum (the masculine and neuter accusative) developed into Old French larc, which was discarded. See: Latin Nouns '
largus'.
