LekhoriLekhoriTo make (something) larger or more important.
But through the oligopoly, charcoal fuel proliferated throughout London's trades and industries. By the 1200s, brewers and bakers, tilemakers, glassblowers, pottery producers, and a range of other craftsmen all became hour-to-hour consumers of charcoal. This only magnified the indispensable nature of the oligopolists.
To make (someone or something) appear greater or more important than it is; to intensify, exaggerate.
From Middle English magnifien, from Middle French magnifier, from Latin magnificāre, from magnificus.
