In mathematics, the number to which another number (the addend) is added in addition.
From Latin 'augendus,' the gerundive of 'augere' (to increase). In '5 + 3,' the 5 is the augend and the 3 is the addend.
Math vocabulary comes directly from Latin—'augend' means 'the one to be increased,' and 'addend' means 'the one to be added,' perfectly describing exactly what happens in addition!
