It more or less means to enlighten, but includes an element of moral improvement.

Hi guys,
I'd just like to add a background note, that might help Spring to remember the meaning of the word.
If you look at the Latin roots, they are aedis (temple) + ficium (from the verb facere - to make, eg build). So this supports Forbes's definition of moral improvement, eg building character. Even today, we call a large, impressive building an edifice.
