Aggravated means something was done that makes the original crime more heinous and increases the sentence for said crime.

Battery is slapping around your wife. Aggravated is beating her teeth out and stomping her head.
Assault is anything involving an assault on a person. Aggravated is the same thing but to a much more extensive level. IE, punching someone is assault, beating someone into a coma is aggravated assault.

It depend on your jurisdiction but basicaly it means that the person did something to make the original crime worst.
For example, it might be "battery" to punch a guy but it might be "agravated battery" to punch a woman you know is pregnant or a blind guy or an elderly person or a small child.
Some crimes for example can become "agravated" if you use a gun or any kind of weapon.
Different crimes might have different elements to make it "agravated" on different jurisdictions.
