Etymology
The word 'propagate' originated from the Latin word 'propagatus', which means 'to reproduce, spread, extend'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. Initially used in the context of plant reproduction, the term later expanded to include the transmission of ideas, diseases, and waves. Over time, 'propagate' has become a versatile word used in various fields to describe the process of multiplication, transmission, or spreading.
