The phrase "making larger" does not have a specific etymology on its own, as it is a combination of two separate words.
The word "making" is derived from the Old English verb "macian", which means "to construct" or "to form". This word has roots in the Proto-Germanic language.
The word "larger" comes from the Latin word "largus", which means "abundant" or "plentiful". In turn, "largus" is related to the Proto-Indo-European root "*legh-", meaning "to be abundant" or "to grow". This root has given rise to various words related to size and abundance in different languages.
In combination, "making larger" simply refers to the act or process of increasing the size or scale of something.
