erogare

Erogare is an Italian transitive verb meaning to dispense, disburse, or provide something—often money, goods, or services—by an authority, organization, or system. It is commonly used in public administration, finance, health care, and utilities to describe the act of paying out funds or making resources available to beneficiaries. The corresponding noun erogazione refers to the act or result of disbursing funds or distributing a service; erogatore denotes the sender or provider that disburses funds or services.

Usage is frequent in contexts such as subsidies, benefits, or loans. For example, lo Stato eroga contributi a favore delle imprese (the state disburses subsidies to businesses) and la banca eroga il prestito entro tre giorni lavorativi (the bank disburses the loan within three business days). In health care or pharmacology, erogare can also mean to administer or dispense a dose or treatment, as in erogare una dose di vaccino.

Etymology traces to Latin erogare, from ex- “out” and rogare “to ask” or “to request,” indicating the sense of putting funds or resources out for use. The verb follows regular -are conjugation patterns in Italian.

See also: erogazione, erogatore, disbursing in public finance. Overall, erogare describes the act of making funds, services, or goods available to recipients through an organized disbursement or provisioning process.
