Having more space than a usual thing has.

Large (adjective) means: Having more space than a usual thing has. It emerges from big, usual, space: When something has more space than a typical instance, and that typical size sets a baseline, the perception of excess extent emerges. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 3, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
