improving demographic appeal
Etymology
'demographic-enhancing' originates from the combination of 'demographic,' which comes from the Greek word 'dēmos' meaning 'people,' and 'enhancing,' derived from the Latin 'in-' meaning 'in' and 'altus' meaning 'high.'
'Demographic' evolved from the Greek 'dēmos' to the modern English term, while 'enhancing' transformed from the Latin 'in-altus' to the Middle English 'enhauncen,' eventually becoming 'enhance.'
Initially, 'demographic' referred to statistical data about populations, while 'enhancing' meant to raise or lift. Together, they now imply improving the appeal or effectiveness of a demographic group.
