ramify

ramify: [16] Ramify has no connection with rams. It comes ultimately from Latin rāmus ‘branch’, which probably goes back to the same source as produced Latin rādīx ‘root’ (ancestor of English radical and radish) and English root. From it was derived the medieval Latin verb rāmificāre, which passed into English via Old French ramifier.
=> radical, radish

ramify (v.)

early 15c., "branch out," from Middle French ramifier (early 14c.), from Medieval Latin ramificare "to form branches," from Latin ramus "branch" (see ramus) + root of facere "to make" (see factitious). Related: Ramified; ramifying.
