Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'marginal' (derived from the Latin 'margo', meaning edge or border, entering Middle English via Old French) and 'increase' (from the Latin 'increscere', meaning to grow upon). In economic and scientific contexts popularized in the 19th and 20th centuries, 'marginal' shifted to mean 'relating to the edge or a small incremental step', making a marginal increase a small, localized addition to an existing total.
