proliferamos

Proliferamos is the 1st-person plural form of the Spanish verb proliferar. It most commonly appears as the present indicative, meaning “we proliferate” or “we multiply.” Because the -ar verb ending -amos also occurs in the simple past (preterite) for this person, the form proliferamos can, in some contexts, be interpreted as either present or preterite, with the time frame clarified by surrounding words.

Etymology and related forms: proliferar comes from Latin proliferare, formed from a prefix meaning “forward” or “increasing” and a root related to growth. The noun proliferación means proliferation, while related adjectives include proliferante and proliferado.

Usage and context: The term is widely used in biology and medicine to describe rapid increases in cell numbers or in populations of organisms under suitable conditions. It also appears in sociology, information science, and policy discourse as a metaphor for rapid spread or growth of ideas, technologies, rumors, or resources. In all uses, the nuance centers on expansion in number, size, or reach over a period of time.

Notes: Proliferamos shares its semantic field with synonyms such as multiplicación, expansión, and crecimiento. When writing, consider the precise sense you intend—biological growth, rapid dissemination, or both—and choose the accompanying terms accordingly. The word is standard in formal and semi-formal Spanish and is understood across dialects, though its frequency and connotations may vary by domain.
