Initial inference
Based on the ending of the word, “guous,” this word is an adjective. Let’s break this word down as exi-guous to see that the first part is similar to “extra” or “exaggerate,” so I feel like the meaning of this word is:
Being in a large quantity.
Definition and Pronunciation

- excessively scanty : inadequate
Example usage
I would use the word in a sentence as follows:
