Definition
an archaic or obsolete verb meaning to grow or increase, essentially replaced by the modern verb 'grow' in contemporary English.
Etymology
From Old English 'edgrowan' or similar forms, with the prefix 'ed-' (meaning 'up' or 'out') combined with 'grow'; this verb became obsolete as 'grow' alone took over its function.
Kelly Says
Words like 'edgrow' show that English is constantly pruning itself—we abandon old words when newer ones work better, making room for new vocabulary to emerge from slang, science, and technology.
