Etymology

From Middle English, borrowed from Old French augmenter, from Late Latin augmentare (“to increase”), from Latin augmentum (“an increase, growth”), from augere (“to increase”).

hmm.. increase/grow isn’t what i was thinking for augmenting interconnectedness (perhaps facil is a better word?.. who knows)

i guess using those words could say – increase/grow (though i’d prefer deepen?) connections back/to our natural interconnectedness
