The act of scattering or sprinkling something; distribution over a surface.
From Latin conspersio, derived from conspergere (to sprinkle together). The -sion suffix indicates the action or result of the verb.
The 'spersion' part of this word relates to 'dispersion'—and both come from spargere, showing how the prefix (con- vs. dis-) changes the direction of the action: conspersion means scattering *together* while dispersion means scattering *apart.'
