An archaic term meaning to increase, enhance, or raise in value or intensity (rarely used in modern English).
From Old French exaucier, derived from Latin exaltare (ex- 'out' + altus 'high'). The word fell out of common use but survives in historical texts and specialized vocabularies.
This Middle English word shows how 'enhance' and 'exalt' are linguistic cousins—they literally share the same Latin root meaning 'to make high,' but one thrived while the other faded into obscurity!
