+Fowler's says:
+It's primary meaning 'grow larger, increase' (as opposed to 'wane') leads
+naturally to the sense 'pass into a specified state or mood, begin to use a
+specified tone. In this meaning a following modifier must be an adj. not an
+adverb ('He waxed enthusiastic [not enthusiastically] about Australia').
