Word of the Week #8


Word: emanate



Source: I read this word in Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State by David Maybury. It was reading homework for my Anthropology 146 class.



How it was used: It is those voluntaristic aspects of society that lie between the givens of the family and the laws and institutions emanating from the state.



Definition: emanate- verb

1. to flow out, issue, or proceed, as from a source or origin; come forth; orginiate

2. to send forth; emit



My sentence:

The light from the porch will emanate into the yard.
