Weighing a lot or having great weight; also used to describe something intense, serious, or occurring in large quantities.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "hefig," meaning weighty or burdensome. This traces back through Proto-Germanic "hafigaz" to a root meaning "to have" or "to hold"—the idea being that something heavy is something that weighs you down or that you must hold with effort. The sense shifted from "having weight" to "difficult to bear" and eventually to our modern meaning of great physical weight.
