viral
含义: Relating to or caused by a virus; in digital media, spreading rapidly and widely through online sharing, like a virus.
The digital sense of 'viral' emerged in the early 2000s to describe content — videos, memes, tweets, articles — that spreads rapidly through social media and email. 'Going viral' means reaching millions of people through organic sharing rather than paid promotion. The concept has transformed marketing ('viral marketing'), politics, and popular culture. The medical and digital meanings sometimes overlap, as during the COVID-19 pandemic.
