Etymology

The word "enlarge" originates from Middle English, combining the prefix "en-" (from Old French, meaning "make" or "cause to be") with "large" (from Latin "largus," meaning "abundant" or "big"). The suffix "-ed" marks the past tense or adjective form. The term evolved to signify increasing physical size or metaphorical scope, reflecting its Latin and French roots in expansion and abundance.
