Etymology: "Enlargened" is an inflected form: the past tense and past participle of "enlargen," so its history is that of the verb. "Enlargen" came into English from Middle English, where it was formed on the verb "enlarge," which itself reached English from Old French "enlargir," meaning to make wider or set free. Both verbs share the same core idea of making something larger in space, and "enlargen" is the more archaic-sounding sibling. The "-en" ending is an old English verb-forming suffix, the same one found in "widen," "lengthen," and "strengthen." Attaching it to a word for size builds a verb meaning to make something bigger. Speakers often use "enlarged" as the standard past form, so "enlargened" is a less common variant that reads as a doubled formation.
