Etymology
'larvae-promoting' originates from the combination of 'larvae,' which refers to the immature form of insects, and 'promoting,' derived from Latin 'promovere,' meaning 'to move forward.'
'promovere' transformed into the Old French word 'promouvoir,' and eventually became the modern English word 'promote.'
Initially, 'promote' meant 'to move forward,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'encouraging growth or development.'
