Means 'scatter', it's true (5)
I believe the answer is:
strew
This clue might be a double definition.
'means scatter' is the first definition.
'strew' can be an answer for 'scatter' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'means' bit.
'true' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how they can define each other.
'it's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strew that I've seen before include "Scatter, spread around" , "Sprinkle" , "Scatter untidily" , "Scatter loosely" .)
