Dis-seminate?
Though now I think of it that way, the actual meaning of disseminate is basically "seminate" (assuming that means "to die seeds" so what's that "dis" even doing there? I suppose it's the same "dis" as "distribute." If only I actually knew Latin! ;)

Yup, I think you must be right. I don't know Latin either.
