'hormone-augmented' originates from the combination of 'hormone,' which comes from the Greek word 'hormōn,' meaning 'that which sets in motion,' and 'augmented,' from Latin 'augmentare,' meaning 'to increase.'

'hormone' was derived from the Greek word 'hormōn' and 'augmented' from Latin 'augmentare,' eventually forming the modern English term 'hormone-augmented.'

Initially, 'hormone' referred to substances that stimulate activity, and 'augmented' meant 'increased.' Together, they now refer to something enhanced by hormones.
