Scatter abroad; spread (8)

I believe the answer is:

disperse

(Other definitions for disperse that I've seen before include "Break up, move away from each other" , "Scatter, dispel" , "Broadcast" , "Cause to separate and go in different directions" , "Scatter, disseminate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
