    See the connection there, even though the word pontificate derives from Latin for a pagan priest.

    pontifex - from the Latin for bridge making / maker.

    I thought the word I was after was "procrastinate", but that means to "put off or delay something."

    However, the word I am looking for sounded something like procrastinate, I am sure.

    Any ideas ?

    Maybe not the word you were looking for, but how about hegemony?
