Morphology

large-minded = large + minded (transparent) = large + mind + ed

The adjective is a straightforward compound of 'large' and the combining adjective 'minded' (mind + -ed), so the meaning 'broad/tolerant in attitude' can be inferred from the parts.

Etymology

Large-minded comes from large ('big') and mind ('thought' or 'attitude'), so it gives the image of a person with a 'big mind' that can hold many ideas. That's why large-minded means being open, tolerant, and generous in spirit, similar to being open-minded.
