macrocosm

[Pref. macro-, and Gr. kosmos = the world; Fr. macro cos me.] The great world; the universe, or the visible system of the world, as distinguished from microcosm (q. v.). "Ile calls a man a microcosm, because his body is really made up of all the several kinds of creatures the macrocosm or greater world consists of, and so is but a model or epitome of the universe." - Boyle : Works , ii. 54.
