== Latin == === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *augeō, from earlier *augejō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂owg-éye-ti, causative form of *h₂ewg-. Cognates include Proto-Germanic *aukaną, Ancient Greek αὐξάνω (auxánō), Lithuanian áugti, and, via Iranian, Old Armenian վաշխ (vašx). Akin to English eke. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈau̯.ɡe.oː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈaːu̯.d͡ʒe.o] === Verb === augeō (present infinitive augēre, perfect active auxī, supine auctum); second conjugation to increase, augment, enlarge, spread, expand Synonyms: adiciō, multiplicō, incitō, accumulō, cumulō Antonyms: diminuō, minuō, dēminuō, imminuō, tenuō, premō, corripiō to lengthen to raise, strengthen Synonyms: ērigō, incendō to exaggerate to honor, enrich Synonym: honōrō (figuratively) to exalt, praise Synonyms: laudō, admīror, collaudō, mīrō, amplificō, suspiciō, praedicō, intueor ==== Conjugation ==== 1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested. ==== Derived terms ==== === References === “augeo”, in Charlton T.
