Etymology
The term 'promulgate' comes from the Latin word 'promulgare,' which is a combination of 'pro-' meaning 'forth' and 'mulgere' meaning 'to milk.' The original sense of the term referred to the act of making known or 'milking forth' information to the public, especially in terms of official declarations. The word entered the English language in the early 15th century, and its usage has evolved to specifically denote formal announcements of laws or regulations. Over the years, promulgating has been a critical aspect of governance and public administration, ensuring that the populace is kept informed about legal changes and their implications.
