Auxilium in Latin means "help; assistance; aid". It is related to the verb augere "to increase; to augment"; perfect-tense forms of augere have the same aux- stem (auxi "I have increased"), which is from aug- plus the perfect formant -s-.

The plural auxilia was used in a military context to mean "auxiliary troops", which added to and assisted the regular legions.
