propel

Propel means to move or drive something forward with energy and power.

When we propel something, we give it a push so it can move quickly and efficiently. We commonly use this word when talking about vehicles, like cars, boats, or even spaceships. For example, "The car's engine propelled us down the highway at 60 miles per hour." Or, "The boat's strong propellers propelled it through the choppy waters." It's also used in other contexts, like science and technology, where devices are propelled by forces such as electricity or magnets.
