generate
Cause to exist
Generate means to produce or bring into being.
Power plants generate electricity; ideas generate discussion; actions generate consequences.
The word often implies creation through a process rather than from nothing: algorithms generate results, friction generates heat.
In computing, to generate is to produce output automatically: The software generates reports daily.
Generation is the noun form for both the act and, by extension, people born in the same era.
