engender
의미: To give rise to, produce, or cause a feeling, situation, or condition to come into being.
Engender is more formal and deliberate than 'cause' or 'create.' It typically collocates with abstract nouns — one engenders trust, hostility, debate, confusion, or a sense of belonging. The word implies that the result is a natural or foreseeable consequence of the action, rather than something accidental. It is standard in academic writing, policy analysis, and quality journalism, and appears almost exclusively in formal registers. It should not be confused with 'gender' as a verb.
