What is what does majuscule mean?

Majuscule refers to uppercase or capital letters in writing. These letters are often larger and bolder than their lowercase counterparts and are used at the beginning of sentences, proper nouns, and sometimes for emphasis within a word or phrase. Majuscule letters were first used in the Latin alphabet in ancient Rome and have been used in various alphabets and writing systems since then. The term majuscule derives from the Latin word "maior," meaning greater or larger.
