Something that fills far more space than you expected. Not heavy — big. Cloth in folds that stands away from the body, a quilt over the sides of a bed, a bag that swallows everything, a file too thick to finish. In every case the eye goes to how much room it takes up.
From the word’s history
The supplied source derives it from Late Latin voluminosus, from volumen ('a roll'), from volvō ('to roll, turn about'). An ancient book was a rolled scroll: the more there was to say, the fatter the roll. That single word already held both bulk and quantity of writing, which is why English keeps them together here.
packet 裡的來源說它出自晚期拉丁文 voluminosus，字根是 volumen（一卷），而 volumen 來自 volvō「捲、滾」。古代的書是一卷卷捲起來的紙：內容越多，那一卷就越粗。也就是說，「體積」和「文字的份量」本來就裝在同一個字裡。這也解釋了為什麼英文到今天還把這兩邊放在一起。
