The people of this Indus Valley civilization did not build massive monuments like their contemporaries, nor did they bury riches among their dead in golden tombs. There were no mummies, no emperors, and no violent wars or bloody battles in their territory.
enormity. n, pl-ties. 1. the quality or character of being outrageous; extreme wickedness. 2. an act of great wickedness; atrocity. 3. vastness of size or extent.
Some hold that enormousness is the correct word in that sense and that enormity can only mean âoutrageousnessâ or âatrociousnessâ: The enormity of his offenses appalled the public. Enormity occurs regularly in edited writing with the meanings both of great size and of outrageous or horrifying character, behavior, etc.
