Morphology
disseminative = disseminate (transparent) = disseminate + ive
Clear adjective formation from the verb 'disseminate' using the productive suffix '-ive', so the meaning 'tending to spread' is predictable.
Etymology
Disseminative comes from the Latin parts dis- 'apart' and seminare 'to sow', so think of scattering seeds apart across a field. That's why something disseminative tends to spread widely, like ideas or tiny particles sent out to many places.
