SUPERSIZE Meaning and Definition

1. Supersize, as a verb, refers to the act of enlarging or increasing the size or amount of something, particularly in relation to food or portions. It involves upgrading a standard size or quantity to a larger, enhanced version. This term gained popularity in the fast-food industry during the late 20th century when food chains introduced larger portion sizes as a market strategy. As obesity concerns arose, the practice of supersizing meals faced criticism due to its association with excessive calorie consumption.

   As an adjective, supersize describes something that is exceptionally large or oversized. It can be used to describe objects, products, or portions that exceed the standard dimensions or extend beyond typical limits. The term has also been adopted in other contexts beyond the food industry, such as in technology, where it refers to devices or features that have been enhanced or enlarged for improved performance or user experience.

   In summary, the term "supersize" encompasses both the act of enlarging or increasing the size of something, and the resulting state of being exceptionally large or oversized. Its origin lies in the food industry's practice of offering larger serving sizes, but it has evolved to describe a broader range of items or concepts that go beyond standard dimensions or quantities.

Etymology of SUPERSIZE

The term "supersize" is primarily associated with the fast-food chain McDonald's and was introduced in 1993 as a marketing term for their larger portion sizes. It quickly gained popularity and became a widely used term in American English to refer to anything that is an extra-large or oversized version of something.

Etymologically, the word "supersize" is a blend of the prefix "super-" meaning "above" or "exceeding normal size or amount" and the verb "size", which refers to the dimensions or extent of something. The addition of the suffix "-ize" forms a verb, indicating the action of making something larger or increased in size.

While the term "supersize" is most commonly associated with McDonald's, it has also been adopted by other fast-food chains and has become a general term in American English to describe larger or extra-large portions or items.
