The word "colossus" originates from the Greek word κολοσσός (kolossós), meaning "gigantic statue". This Greek word was used by Herodotus to describe large Egyptian statues and by the Romans for the bronze statue of Helios at Rhodes. Ultimately, the etymology of "kolossós" is unknown. The word entered English through Latin, where it became "colossus".
