propagate
意味: To spread, transmit, or promote an idea, belief, or piece of information widely. In biology and horticulture, to breed or reproduce organisms, especially plants.
Propagate is versatile, moving comfortably between scientific and rhetorical registers. In physics, waves propagate through media. In computing, changes propagate through a system. In horticulture, gardeners propagate plants from cuttings or seeds. In social and political contexts, to propagate an idea is to promote its spread — a usage that can be neutral or faintly suspicious depending on what is being propagated. Unlike 'disseminate,' which implies organised distribution, propagate emphasises the organic, self-sustaining nature of the spread.
