Synonym Chooser
Some common synonyms of emanate are arise, derive, flow, issue, originate, proceed, rise, spring, and stem. While all these words mean "to come up or out of something into existence," emanate applies to the coming of something immaterial (such as a thought) from a source.
Arise and rise may both convey the fact of coming into existence or notice but rise often stresses gradual growth or ascent.
In some situations, the words derive and emanate are roughly equivalent. However, derive implies a prior existence in another form.
Flow adds to spring a suggestion of abundance or ease of inception.
While the synonyms issue and emanate are close in meaning, issue suggests emerging from confinement through an outlet.
The meanings of originate and emanate largely overlap; however, originate implies a definite source or starting point.
While in some cases nearly identical to emanate, proceed stresses place of origin, derivation, parentage, or logical cause.
The words spring and emanate are synonyms, but do differ in nuance. Specifically, spring implies rapid or sudden emerging.
Although the words stem and emanate have much in common, stem implies originating by dividing or branching off from something as an outgrowth or subordinate development.
