'friction-increasing' is a compound word formed from 'friction' and 'increasing'. 'Friction' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'frictio', where 'fricare' meant 'to rub'. 'Increasing' comes from Latin 'increscere', where 'in-' meant 'into' and 'crescere' meant 'to grow'.

'Friction' changed from the Latin word 'frictio' and eventually became the modern English word 'friction'. 'Increasing' evolved from the Latin 'increscere' to the modern English 'increase'.

Initially, 'friction' meant 'rubbing', and 'increasing' meant 'growing'. Over time, 'friction-increasing' evolved to describe something that enhances friction.
