propagate:
A. Trans.:
I. To reproduce.
1. propāgo, 1 (as horticultural term, to propagate by a slip or layer put under earth): Varr. R. R. 1, 40, extr.: Plin. 21, 10, 34 (lit.): Col. (N.B.--In wider sense, propagare is rather to prolong or extend than simply to beget offspring: cf. Cic. Ph. 1, 6, 13, stirpem in quingentesimum annum propagare, i. e. to continue the breed for five hundred years.)
2. expr. to be p.d by nascor, prōvĕnio, cresco: the hazel is p.d by slips, plantis coryli nascuntur, Virg. G. 2, 65: trees that p. themselves, sponte sua provenientes arbores, Plin. 17, init.: to be p.d by seed, *seminibus jactis crescere. Phr.: trees which are p.d by grafting, quae (genera) inseruntur ex arboribus in arbores, Varr. R. R. 1, 39, fin.; by layers, quae ex arboribus demittuntur in terram, ib.
II. To spread:
1. vulgo, 1: to p. disease, morbos v., Liv. 3, 6, ad init.: Curt. 9, 10, med.
2. dissēmĭno, 1 (to scatter as seed): this plague has been p.d more widely than could have been thought, latius opinione disseminatum est hoc malum, Cic. Cat. 4, 3, fin. See alsoTO SPREAD . Phr.: to p. the Christian faith in foreign countries, *apud exteras gentes fidem Christianam propagare; exteras gentes docere et Christiana doctrina impertiri.
B. Intrans.: to reproduce kind: Phr.: the hare p.s very fast, *lepus animal est fecundissimum, cf. Cic. N. D. 2, 64, 160: see also supr. (A., I., 2).
