The verb "emanate" means to emit or give off something, typically a feeling, quality, or physical substance, from a source. It often carries connotations of something continually radiating or flowing out. The word can be used both in literal contexts (like light or heat emanating from a source) and metaphorical contexts (like an idea or feeling emanating from a person).
"emanate" is used fairly frequently in written English, particularly in formal or academic contexts. It is less common in everyday oral speech, where simpler synonyms like "give off" or "send out" might be used instead.

"Emanate" is not commonly featured in idiomatic expressions, but here are relevant examples that incorporate a similar idea of radiating or spreading qualities:

The word "emanate" originated in the early 17th century from the Latin "emanare," which means "to flow out." It is composed of "e-" meaning "out" and "manare" meaning "to flow."
