Makes small in comparison

DWARFS

Think of a word that describes how something much larger can make another object seem tiny, like a giant next to a child. It’s also a term used in mythology for certain small, magical beings.

"Makes small in comparison" hints at something that reduces size or importance relative to something else. The answer "DWARFS" fits because it literally means to make something seem smaller (like how a giant can dwarf a person) and also plays on the word "dwarfs," which are mythical or real beings known for their small stature. The clue cleverly uses the verb form of "dwarf" while nodding to the noun’s common association with tiny size.
