About

The word 大多数, meaning "the majority" or "most", is formed by combining the character 大 (big) to intensify 多 (many), creating the sense of "great many", and then adding 数 (number) to specify that this refers to a countable quantity, resulting in a term that denotes the larger part of a whole.
