Answer 1: From the word amplfy, which is transitive verb me:ning

1 : to expand (as a statement) by the use of detail or illustration or by closer analysis

2 a : to make larger or greater (as in amount, importance, or intensity) : increase b : to increase the strength or amount of; especially : to make louder c : to cause (a gene or DNA sequence) to undergo amplification

Answer 2: The word "amplifier" is derived from the word "ample" which, in turn is derived from the Latin word "amplus" meaning full or plentiful or generous in size. Any part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be amplified, but the term usually refers to the audible spectrum (20 - 20,000 hertz) where the sound is made greater by an amplifier.
