Press organised in face of such scattering (9)
I believe the answer is:
dispersal
'such scattering' is the definition.
'dispersal' can be an answer for 'scattering' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'such' bit.
'press organised in face' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'face' becomes 'dial' (face of a clock).
'press' with letters rearranged gives 'spers'.
'spers' going within 'dial' is 'DISPERSAL'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dispersal that I've seen before include "Distribution over a wide area" , "Scattering" , "(Of smoke) thinning out and disappearance" , "broadcast" , "Natural spread of seed" .)
