Morphology
promote = pro + mot
The elements are Latin combining forms (pro- + mot-) rather than productive modern English morphemes, so knowing 'pro' does not let a learner derive the meaning of 'promote'.
Etymology
Promote comes from the Latin parts pro- ('forward') and movere ('to move'), so to promote a product is to 'move' it forward into people's attention or push it out to more customers.
