語源
英語の原文(Wiktionary)
From Middle English huge, from Old French ahuge (“high, lofty, great, large, huge”), of unknown origin. One theory derives it from an underlying Old French a hoge (“at height”), from a (“at, to”) + hoge (“a hill, height”), the latter from Frankish *haug or cognate Old Norse haugr (“hill”); both from Proto-Germanic *haugaz (“hill, mound”), from Proto-Indo-European *kowkós (“hill, mound”), from the root Proto-Indo-European *kewk-, whence also English high.
