'enrich' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'enrichir', where 'en-' meant 'to make' and 'riche' meant 'rich'.

'enrichir' transformed into the Middle English word 'enriche', and eventually became the modern English word 'enrich'.

Initially, it meant 'to make rich or wealthy', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to improve or enhance the quality of something'.
