This word “brobdingnagian” is seldom used in English, even though it is listed as an adjective in some American dictionaries. (~ not found in British dictionaries such as Longman, Cambridge and Collins) There are no examples in the dictionaries. Of course, it is good to know the meaning of “brobdingnagian”, but I hesitate to recommend using it.

On the other hand, we are more interested in the kind of vocabulary that is used in academic speech and writing regardless of which discipline we are concerned with. We need to be familiar with academic vocabulary in order to feel comfortable in academic environment or work place.

主英用? Do you mean = 主要英文用. Sorry if I misunderstand you.

Brobdingnagian這個字係原出於Jonathan Swift所寫的Gulliver's Travels格列佛遊記, 其中一章節係寫大人個與小人國的故事, 而在小說大人國虛構咗一個地方Brobdingnag, 即巨人國. 而brobdingnagian由此而成. Brobdingnagian adjective - gigantic, very large, huge, immense 巨大的 Noun – giant, a person of enormous size 巨人
