Answer

HEFTY

This word is an adjective meaning heavy, bulky, or substantial in weight or size. It can also be used figuratively to describe something significant in amount, such as a hefty fee or a hefty portion. The word has been in use since the mid 1800s and likely evolved from the word heft, meaning to assess the weight of something by lifting it.

Strategy Tip

When your word ends in Y, remember that many five letter adjectives follow this pattern. If you have confirmed a Y at the end, try thinking of common adjective endings and work backward from there.
