auction
auction: [16] The etymological idea underlying auction is that of ‘increasing’ – as the sale proceeds, the price offered goes up. The word comes from Latin auctiō ‘increase’, a noun derived from auct-, the past participial stem of the verb augēre ‘increase’ (source of English augment [15] and author, and related to auxiliary [17] and eke). The sense ‘auction sale’ was already present in Latin.
=> augment, august, author, auxilliary, eke, wax

In northern England and Scotland, called a roup. In the U.S., something is sold at auction; in England, by auction.
