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 pro- ('forward') and movere ('to move'), so to promote an idea or activity is to help it move forward and grow, making it more successful.
