difundir

/difunˈdiɾ/ · B2 · verb

to spread, disseminate (ideas, etc.)

📣 di-FUN-dir = let the FUN spread: dif- (apart) + fundir (pour) = pour out widely

Latin diffundere: dis- (in all directions) + fundere (to pour). Ideas are poured out in every direction, not kept in one place. Same root as English diffuse and fuse, so difundir is to diffuse news or ideas.
