What does Titanic mean?

"Titanic" is a combination of two words:

* Titan: A giant in Greek mythology, representing immense size and power.

* -ic: A suffix meaning "like" or "pertaining to."

Therefore, "Titanic" means "like a Titan" or "huge and powerful".

This name was fitting for the RMS Titanic, as it was considered the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of its time.
