propiciar

Level C1

Meaning

to bring about, to foster

Example

El silencio de la sala propició una conversación sincera.

The silence of the room brought about a sincere conversation.

A way to remember it

Same Latin root as English "propitious" ("favorable"): to foster is to make conditions propitious; not propinar "to give a blow".
