The Latin verb “mulgere” means “to extract,” and when paired with the prefix “pro,” meaning “forward,” it forms “promulgate,” which means “to bring something forward.” There are many words that could be used for this same concept, but there’s power in selecting the perfect word. If you want to share a doctrine or philosophy widely, that’s the time to promulgate. “Announce” implies sharing for the first time. “Declare” and “proclaim” are both forceful, confident actions. “Publicize” and “broadcast” mean there’s news to be spread, and “disclose,” “reveal,” and “divulge” all imply a level of secrecy about the information.
