Etymology
Dispersal comes from the parts dis- 'apart' and sperse 'to scatter', so imagine seeds or a crowd being sent apart by wind or movement. You can see the same idea in sparse, which means thinly spread, and that is why dispersal means the act of spreading or scattering things over a wide area.
