Origin of the word magnification

"Magnification" comes from the Latin word "magnificare," meaning "to make great" or "to enlarge." This root word itself is a combination of "magnus," meaning "great," and "facere," meaning "to make." The term was first used in the 14th century to describe the act of making something appear larger. Today, "magnification" is often used in the context of optics, referring to the process of increasing the apparent size of an object through lenses or other optical instruments.
