I’m looking for an English word which could mean something or someone that adds value to something else. Is there a single word for that?

That will depend on how you define value. A contribution can be considered as something that adds value. An enrichment can also be considered as something that adds value.

  • If it is a person, which word is better. In your answer contribution is a good choice for work, project verbs. enrichment is good for objects. similarly, what is the best choice for a person?

Would 'enhances' be the word you are looking for? 'The large shirt I am wearing enhances my appearance, as it hides the roll of fat across my middle'.

Enhancer or Enhancement

From the word enhance: to make greater, as in value, beauty, or effectiveness; augment; to provide with improved, advanced, or sophisticated features.

This would satisfy the request for a word that applies to something that adds value to something else. But I don't think I've heard it used to apply to a person who adds to the value of something.
