augmento

Augmento is a term used in multiple disciplines to refer to the idea of augmentation or enhancement. The word derives from Latin augēre, to increase, and from augmentum, an increase. In modern usage, augmento is often encountered as a generic label rather than a fixed technical definition, and its precise meaning varies by context. When used as a proper noun, it may denote a project, product line, or initiative centered on enhancement. Because it is not standardized, sources may describe augmento differently in technology, science, and culture.

In technology and data science, augmento commonly appears in discussions of augmentation techniques that expand capabilities. Data augmentation creates new training samples from existing data to improve model performance and robustness. In computer vision and natural language processing, methods such as image transformations or paraphrase generation are examples. In human augmentation and wearable technology, devices that extend physical or sensory capabilities are sometimes grouped under the broad concept of augmento; in augmented reality, digital information is layered onto the real world to augment perception.

In business and branding, augmento is used as a name or descriptor for products and services that promise enhancement, from software tools to health-related devices. The lack of a fixed standard meaning means the term is often encountered in speculative or marketing contexts rather than as a defined scientific category.
