To disseminate information or ideas is to send them out to as many people as you can. The old Latin picture is a farmer throwing seed over a wide field. A health office disseminates advice. A newspaper disseminates news. Scientists disseminate findings in journals. It is a formal verb. In daily talk people say spread, share, or put out. You disseminate something meant to travel — a report, a warning, a , a teaching — not a private note to one friend. The word itself does not say whether what you spread is true; it only says it goes far.
傳播、散播(資訊、觀念)。
組成From Latin: dis- (“out, in all directions”) + sēminō (“to sow”), from sēmen (“seed”), plus the English verb ending -ate. So: to sow widely.

- As the missletoe is disseminated by birds, its existence depends on birds; and it may metaphorically be said to struggle with other fruit-bearing plants, in order to tempt birds to devour and thus disseminate its seeds rather than those of other plants. In these several senses, which pass into each other, I use for convenience sake the general term of struggle for existence.
