EN: to grow; to sprout; to earn interest
Three main uses: 1) What a plant does. 2) What a pimple does on your face right before a big date. 3) What your money in the bank is *supposed* to do, but at 0.01% interest, good luck with that. It's the universe's way of saying "something new has appeared here."
This word has multiple related meanings: botanical growth, skin blemishes, and financial interest. The context is key. This is the completed aspect (past tense).
