Fairly large — big enough to be noticeable or important, though not necessarily huge. People use it to how big something is, sounding a little more modest than just saying 'huge' or 'enormous' — a sizable amount of money, a sizable crowd.
相當大的;不小的
組成size + -able (though here it doesn't mean 'able to be sized' — it just means 'of a good/large size').
