促進する
- Meaning
- 物事の進行を早めるよう働きかける
- Explanation
- 「促進する」 means to push something forward so that it progresses faster. It is the exact opposite direction of "to delay" or "to stop completely." "Only to observe" is wrong in that there is no active engagement. It is a word expressing the act of actively speeding up progress.
Original Japanese explanation
「促進する」は物事が早く進むよう後押しする意味です。「遅らせる」「完全に止める」とは正反対の方向。「観察するだけ」は働きかけが無い点で誤り。積極的に進行を早める行為を表す語です。
