Morphology
disseminate = dis + semin + ate
The prefix 'dis-' and the verb-forming suffix '-ate' are recognizable, but the central root 'semin' is a Latin combining form (not a standalone English word), so learners cannot fully derive the meaning without etymological knowledge ('seed' sense).
Etymology
Disseminate comes from Latin parts dis- ('apart') and semen ('seed'), so it originally meant to 'scatter seeds'. That's why to disseminate information is like 'spreading' ideas widely, as if you were scattering seeds for them to grow in many places.
