About

The word "大块头" is formed by combining the character 大 (meaning "big") with 块 (meaning "lump" or "piece", here referring to body mass) and 头 (meaning "head", but used as a suffix to denote a person), so 大 modifies 块 to convey "large body", and 头 identifies it as referring to a person, resulting in a term for someone with a bulky, sturdy physique.
