emanative
Issuing from source
Emanative describes something that flows out or radiates from a source.
The word appears in philosophical and theological contexts, particularly discussions of how divine attributes or creative power issue forth from a supreme being: an emanative theory of creation.
More generally, it characterizes anything that seems to pour outward rather than being made or constructed: the emanative warmth of her presence.
