A small, often regular increase in amount, size, or value.
From Latin 'incrementum' meaning 'growth, increase', from 'increscere' (to grow), from 'in-' (into) and 'crescere' (to grow). It originally referred to natural growth.
An increment is growth in steps, not in one big jump. Programmers, mathematicians, and managers all think in increments—tiny changes that, over time, add up to something huge.
