It could. Or, does it mean the opposite ........... "a size larger than the next smaller gauge"? Seriously, my understanding of it is simply that each gauge's frame is built proportionately smaller (or larger)than the adjacent gauge frame. Or, put another way, no two gauges (or bores, as in the case of the .410) are built on the same size frame.

I'd never considered that there was as much confusion about the term as you suggested. Ignorance is bliss, as they say.
