engendering
Giving rise to
Engendering is bringing something into existence or causing it to develop: policies engendering resentment, conditions engendering trust.
The word implies giving rise to something gradually or as a natural consequence, rather than creating it directly.
It appears most often in formal or academic contexts discussing how circumstances produce effects.
