 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during the third U.S. presidential debate at the Thomas & Mack Center on October 19, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tonight is the final debate ahead of Election Day on November 8.
 
Trump used one of his favorite words, "bigly."
The comment came during a contentious discussion of President Barack Obama's immigration record, where Trump asserted that Obama had deported "millions" of people. 

"He doesn't want to say that, but that's what's happened... bigly," Trump said. 
 
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, bigly is actually a word meaning "with great force."

 
However, after the first presidential debate, Eric Trump, the nominee's son, told The Hollywood Reporter that the Republican nominee had said "big league," and not "bigly."

The word is now the top-trending search on Google:
