boost
Increase in strength
Boost means to lift, raise, or increase.
You might boost someone over a fence, boost sales figures, or boost morale.
A boost is the lift itself—a helping push upward or forward: The good reviews gave the film a boost.
In informal use, to boost something is to steal it, especially by shoplifting.
A booster amplifies or supports: a rocket booster, a signal booster, a booster shot.
