Morphology

dissemination = disseminate (transparent) = disseminate + ation

Standard nominalization of the verb 'disseminate' with the productive suffix '-ation', so the meaning 'the act or process of spreading' is predictable from the base.

Etymology

Dissemination comes from the Latin parts dis- and semen, where semen means 'seed' and is like the English word seed. So, just like sowing seeds across a field, dissemination is the spreading of ideas or information so many people receive them.
