In a sentence,

"The local farmer's market boasted a thiccc Courgette, Giant Green that required its own stall. The adjacent carrots were visibly envious."

From French courgette, diminutive of courge 'gourd', + Giant, Old English 'gēant', from Latin gigantem. The 'green' is self-explanatory, unless you're colorblind, in which case, apologies.
