the universe's only trick for cheating death: make a copy and run.
means The act of making a copy of something — whether that's a printed image, a recorded sound, or a living organism producing offspring.
from From Latin: the prefix re- ('again') joined to producere ('to bring forth, lead out'), itself from pro- ('forward') plus ducere ('to lead'). So at root it means 'to bring forth again' — the same ducere that gives us conduct, induce, and aqueduct. The word arrived in English by way of French in the 1600s, first for biology and the natural sciences, later spreading to copies of art and texts.
