Origin of the word bulky

"Bulky" traces its roots back to the Old English word "bulca," meaning "lump" or "hump." This term, in turn, likely originated from a Proto-Germanic word "bulka," also meaning "lump" or "bulge." Over time, "bulca" evolved into "bulk" in Middle English, referring to something large and massive. "Bulky" then emerged in the 16th century, describing something characterized by its large size and weight, much like a lump or bulge.
