`Enhance Has Latin Roots
`
`When enhance was borrowed into English in the 13th century, it meant “to raise.” That sense, though now
`obsolete, provides a clue about the origins of the word. Spelled enhauncen in Middle English, the word comes to
`us from Anglo-French enhaucer or enhauncer ("to raise"), which can be traced back to the Vulgar Latin verb
`inaltiare. That word, in turn, was formed by combining the prefix in- with Latin altus, meaning "high." Although
`enhance initially applied only to physically making things higher, it developed an additional and less literal sense

`of something or someone.
