transmit

Transitive Verb

This word carries a technical, clinical, or mechanical energy. It suggests a directional flow from a source to a destination, often involving a medium or a carrier. In a technological sense, it implies the conversion of information into a wave or pulse for travel over a distance. When used in medicine or psychology, it evokes a sense of contagion or inevitable passage. It differs from share or give because it implies a process of transfer that might be automatic, invisible, or unintentional, rather than a conscious social exchange.
