extending
Making something longer
Extending means stretching out or making longer in space, time, or scope.
A road extends into the distance; a deadline gets extended; an invitation extends to family members.
The word often implies reaching beyond current boundaries: The company is extending its operations into Asia.
To extend something is also to offer it: She extended her hand in greeting.
