The word "promulgate" comes from the Latin term "promulgare", which is a combination of "pro" meaning "forth" or "forward", and "mulgare" meaning "to make known". In Latin, "promulgare" was commonly used in the context of making a law or regulation known or publicly announced. The term gradually made its way into English and now refers to the act of proclaiming, publishing, or making something widely known or publicly declared.
