Root Explanation

Emanant → It is formed from "emanare" (from Latin, meaning to flow out) and the suffix "-ant" (indicating an agent or something that performs an action). The word "emanant" refers to something that flows out or radiates from a source.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'flowing out' ('emanare') — that's why emanant means something that radiates or comes forth.
