generate
/ˈdʒɛn.əɹ.eɪt/verb
To cause something to exist or happen; to produce.
Example sentences
- “The new ad campaign generated a lot of interest in the product.”
- “Wind turbines generate electricity for thousands of homes.”
The standard verb for electricity, income, interest, and buzz. It fits abstract outputs; for physical goods, 'produce' or 'manufacture' is more natural.
