dissemination
UK: dɪˌsemɪˈneɪʃən | US: dɪˌsemɪˈneɪʃən
n. the act of spreading something, especially information, widely; circulation or diffusion.
The word "dissemination" originates from Latin disseminare, combining dis- (apart, widely) and seminare (to sow, from semen, meaning "seed"). The metaphor of sowing seeds evolved into the modern sense of spreading information or ideas widely, as if scattering seeds across a field. The suffix -ation nominalizes the verb, turning it into an abstract noun.
