'enhancement' originates from the Old French word 'enhaucier,' where 'en-' meant 'in' and 'haucier' meant 'to raise.'

'enhaucier' transformed into the Middle English word 'enhauncen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'enhance.'

Initially, it meant 'to raise or lift up,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to improve or augment.'
