Root Breakdown
Root-derivedpro- ('forward') + mot (move) = 'move forward.' One image, three everyday senses: move a person forward in rank (she was promoted to manager), move a cause forward (promote health, promote growth), and move a product forward into people's attention (promote a new album). Whatever the object — a career, a goal, or a thing for sale — promote pushes it ahead.
