ulgate is a verb that means to make an idea or belief known among people.

Our word of the day comes from the Latin word promulgare (pro mull GAR ay) which means ‘to bring something out.’ When we bring out a belief or idea among others, we promulgate it. For example: Some of my favorite philosophers of the 19th century helped spread ideas of tolerance. It’s a lovely thing that people used their pulpit to promulgate acceptance.
