enlargement
Enlargement refers to the process of increasing the size or scale of an object or concept. In geometry, for example, it involves expanding a shape while maintaining its proportions, resulting in a larger version of the original figure. This can be achieved by multiplying the dimensions of the shape by a specific factor.
In a political context, enlargement often describes the expansion of organizations, such as the European Union, to include new member states. This process involves negotiations and assessments to ensure that the new members meet specific criteria and can contribute positively to the organization’s goals.
