Word origin
The word 'enlarge' originated from the Old French word 'enlargier', which in turn came from the Latin word 'largus' meaning 'abundant' or 'ample'. The term has been used in English since the late 14th century, originally in the sense of 'to make larger'. Over time, it has evolved to encompass various meanings related to increasing in size or scope.
