Raise, expand (8)
I believe the answer is:
increase
I believe this is a double definition.
'raise' is the first definition.
(I know that raise is a more specific form of increase)
'expand' is the second definition.
(I know that expand is a more specific form of increase)
(Other definitions for increase that I've seen before include "Increment" , "Multiply" , "Grow, expand" , "step up" , "boost" .)
