enhance
UK: ɪnˈhɑːns | US: ɪnˈhæns
vt. to increase or improve the quality, value, or strength of something
vt. to intensify or make more effective
The word "enhance" traces back to the Old French enhaucier (to raise, elevate), derived from Latin inaltiare (in- "make" + altus "high"). The morpheme en- (a prefix meaning "cause to be") merged with hance, an evolution of altiare (to heighten). Over time, hance lost its literal connection to height but retained the abstract sense of improvement. The word’s logic reflects a metaphorical "lifting up" of quality or value.
