Strews (8)
I believe the answer is:
scatters
'strews' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for scatters that I've seen before include "Disperses in all directions" , "Throws here and there, as with seeds (8)" , "Strews in all directions" , "Disperses and throws around" , "Disperses or strews" .)
