impart

Give through telling

Impart means to give or communicate something, typically something abstract like knowledge, wisdom, or a quality.

A teacher imparts lessons to students; a spice imparts flavor to a dish.

The word suggests a deliberate transfer from one who possesses something to one who receives it: She hoped to impart some of her enthusiasm to the new hires.

Impart carries a slightly formal tone and often implies generosity or intention in the giving.
