Even though saying “the big brown brick wall” means the same as saying “the brick brown big wall”, the second feels so very wrong.

Think of it like adding parentheses in math.
Big (brown (brick wall))
Words to the left are things that fit into what’s to their right.
A “brick wall” is a kind of wall. Brown is then a kind of brick wall. Big is a kind of brown brick wall.
That’s the best I can do, but trust me, it makes sense.
