emanate
Significado: To issue, spread, or flow outward from a source; to originate from a particular place, person, or authority.
Emanate describes something flowing outward from its origin — light emanates from a lamp, warmth emanates from a fire, authority emanates from a constitution. It is used both for physical phenomena (sounds, smells, radiation) and abstract ones (policies, directives, influence). The construction 'emanate from' is standard. The word lends a certain grandeur or formality to the origin it describes, and is common in journalism, literary writing, and official communication.
