The word "propagation" comes from the Latin word "propagare," meaning "to spread, extend, or multiply." This root word also gave us "propagate," which initially referred to the spreading of plants by cuttings or seeds. Over time, "propagation" expanded to encompass the transmission or dissemination of ideas, knowledge, or even disease. Its core meaning, however, remains rooted in the idea of something spreading and growing outwards.
