Borrowed from Latin ēmānāre, "to flow out,". ēmānāre is the present active infinitive of ēmānō "flow out, ēmānō is derived from the Latin ex- (prefix meaning "out, away") + mānō (verb meaning "to give out; to flow").

noun

  1. plural, plural only Unrealistic pictorial elements emanating from a character, symbolizing something about that character, such as a sweatdrop for anxiety or a question mark for confusion, or emanating from an object, such as heat rays from the sun. Now that we have our characters, there's a lot more we can do with them to show what's going on inside them. Those of you who believe in mental telepathy should not be at all surprised at the things cartoonists have emanating from their characters.
