precipitates
Causes to happen
Precipitates works as both verb and noun around the idea of something falling or being thrown down suddenly.
To precipitate an event is to cause it abruptly: The assassination precipitated a war.
In chemistry, a precipitate is a solid that separates from a solution and settles at the bottom.
The adjective precipitate means hasty or rash: a precipitate decision.
