Definition
巨匠 is a formal, literary word for 'master' or 'great master' — someone who has reached the highest level of skill in art, literature, science, or other creative fields. Unlike more general words like 大师, 巨匠 carries a sense of monumental achievement and is used with strong admiration. It is not used for everyday skilled workers; reserve it for truly outstanding figures.
n.
great master / consummate master (in arts, literature, science, etc.)
