𝘈𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘴 derives from augere, “to make grow”. A shared etymological origin ties it to the words Augustus (he who makes grow), auxilium (help provided by a higher power), augurium (also a word of religious origin: a vow made to obtain divine cooperation in growth).

Reason or Appetite?

Is it more likely that a tryannical regime errs first not in the reason but in the appetite?
