Ramify is a verb that means to spread or branch out.

The Latin word ramus (RAH moose) means ‘branch.’ Its English counterpart may be used in reference to nature or it may be used in a more metaphorical sense. For example:

We’d like to see the orchestra ramify into many different groups. While it can sometimes be painful for a group to split up like this, branching into new areas is, in the end, the only way to grow.
