I believe the answer is:

atomised

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unusual idea most readily disseminated?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'unusual idea most' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'idea'+'most'='ideamost'
'ideamost' with letters rearranged gives 'ATOMISED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for atomised that I've seen is " What mister did".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
