An archaic or obsolete term meaning enlargement or expansion, particularly used in historical legal or architectural contexts.
From Old French 'enlarger' (to widen), derived from 'en-' (to cause to be) and 'large' (wide), related to the modern English word 'enlarge,' though this specific form is now archaic.
This word is a linguistic fossil—it shows us that older English had slightly different spellings and forms that have been mostly replaced by 'enlargement,' but it survived in some legal documents and historical records.
