Morphology

hugemongous + shipment

The meaning 'an extremely large delivery of goods' is directly compositional from the adjective 'hugemongous' (informally 'very large') modifying 'shipment' (a consignment of goods), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE meaning. Although 'hugemongous' is an informal blend of size words, its size contribution is transparent and follows normal adjective+noun composition patterns, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Hugemongous shipment comes from joining the words huge and humongous to make a stronger picture of size, so you can imagine a delivery that fills a whole warehouse. That's why it means 'an extremely large delivery of goods'.
