Flowing or issuing from a source; relating to or characterized by emanation or outward flow.
From Latin emanens, the present participle of emanare. This philosophical and theological term describes something that flows or derives from a source, particularly used in discussions of divinity or natural forces.
Medieval theologians used 'emanent' to describe how divine power flows from God into creation—it's the opposite of 'immanent' (residing within), making these two theological opposites perfect mirror words.
