Disperse, dissipate (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

6

7

dispel

I believe this is a double definition.

'disperse' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'dissipate' is the second definition.
(I know that dissipate can be written as dispel)

(Other definitions for dispel that I've seen before include "'Disperse, clear away (6)'" , "Dissipate or drive off" , "Drive away and scatter" , "Get rid of" , "Banish, drive away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
