The word 巨型 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 巨 (jù), meaning "huge" or "gigantic", and 型 (xíng), meaning "model", "type", or "form". Their conjunction creates a new concept where the first character descriptively modifies the second, yielding the composite meaning of "giant-type" or "colossal form", which is used to mean "giant-sized" or "colossal".
