émanated

Emanated is the past tense of the verb emanate. To emanate means to issue or spread out from a source. It can be used to describe the emission of light, heat, sound, or even abstract concepts like feelings or ideas. For example, a candle emanated light, or a room could be described as having emanated a sense of warmth. The word originates from the Latin word 'emanare', meaning to flow out.

In a more figurative sense, emanated can describe something that is produced or expressed. For instance, a leader's confidence might have emanated from their successful policies, or a piece of art could be said to have emanated a particular emotion from the viewer. The concept implies a diffusion or radiation from a central point. When something emanates, it suggests a natural or inherent quality that is outwardly projected. The usage often carries a sense of gentle or gradual release.
