"augur" meaning in Latin

See augur in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈau̯.ɡur/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈäu̯ɡʊr] [Classical-Latin], /ˈau̯.ɡur/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈäːu̯ɡur] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Of uncertain origin. Two possibilities are: * From Old Latin *augos (“reinforcement, increase”) (genitive *augeris), related to augeō (“to increase”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwgos; compare Sanskrit ओजस् (ojas, “strength, vigor”), Avestan 𐬀𐬊𐬘𐬀𐬵 (aojah), 𐬀𐬊𐬔𐬀𐬵 (aogah, “might, power”) as well as Latin augustus (< *h₂éwgos-tos). The noun *augos would have developed from "reinforcement" to "(one) who makes grow". This derivation is preferred by de Vaan. * From avis (“bird”) + garrire (“to talk”), as augurs were known to observe the behavior of birds.

Two possibilities are:\n* From Old Latin *augos (“reinforcement, increase”) (genitive *augeris), related to augeō (“to increase”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwgos; compare Sanskrit ओजस् (ojas, “strength, vigor”), Avestan 𐬀𐬊𐬘𐬀𐬵 (aojah), 𐬀𐬊𐬔𐬀𐬵 (aogah, “might, power”) as well as Latin augustus (< *h₂éwgos-tos). The noun *augos would have developed from \"reinforcement\" to \"(one) who makes grow\". This derivation is preferred by de Vaan.\n* From avis (“bird”) + garrire (“to talk”), as augurs were known to observe the behavior of birds.",
