augmentation
Adding to something
Augmentation is the act of making something larger or more substantial, or the result of that increase.
A budget augmentation adds funds; breast augmentation adds volume surgically.
In music, augmentation stretches a melody by lengthening its note values.
The word implies deliberate enhancement rather than natural growth: The company approved augmentation of the security team.
