Grand
GRAND, a. [L. grandis.]
1. Great; but mostly in a figurative sense; illustrious; high in power or dignity; as a grand lord.
2. Great; splendid; magnificent; as a grand design; a grand parade; a grand view or prospect.
3. Great; principal; chief; as Satan our grand foe.
4. Noble; sublime; lofty; conceived or expressed with great dignity; as a grand conception.
In general, we apply the epithet grand to that which is great and elevated, or which elevates and expands our ideas. The ocean,the sky, a lofty tower are grand objects. But to constitute a thing grand, it seems necessary that it should be distinguished by some degree of beauty.
5. Old; more advanced; as in grandfather, grandmother, that is, old-father; and to correspond with this relation, we use grandson, granddaughter, grandchild.
