† magmentn.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin magmentum.

Etymology: Probably < a misunderstanding (found already in ancient grammarians) of classical Latin magmentum some part (perhaps the entrails) of a sacrificial animal (related to mactus honoured, magnus : see macte int., magni- comb. form), which was analysed as showing magis ‘to a greater extent’ and augmentum increase (see augment n.). Compare post-classical Latin magmentare for augmentare (one isolated 15th-cent. occurrence). N.E.D. (1904) indicates the stress as ˈmagment.

Obsolete. rare. Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.

Great increase.
