magnifier

/ˈmæɡnəˌfaɪɝ/ noun

A tool that makes small things look bigger so you can see them more clearly.

Word Origin Magnifier is from magnify + -er. Magnify comes from Latin magnus 'great' + facere 'to make' — literally 'to make great.' The same roots give us magnificent (great-making), magnitude, magnate (great man), and factory (place of making). So a magnifier is a thing that makes things great (in size).
