Answer
According to Merriam-Webster:quickly and widely spread or popularized especially by person-to-person electronic communication
Etymology/語源
Online Etymology Dictionaryによると、「インターネットでシェアされることによって突然、大人気になる」という意味で使われ始めたのが1999年。もともと、マーケティングの用法で、何かがウィールスが拡散するかのように人気が出ることから。」
According to Online Etymology Dictionary:
Sense of "become suddenly widely popular through internet sharing" is attested by 1999, originally in reference to marketing and based on the similarity of the effect to the spread of a computer virus.
