Discatter

/dɪsˈskætər/ verb

Definition

To scatter in different directions; to disperse or break apart.

Etymology

From 'dis-' (apart, away) and 'scatter'. This is a rare intensification of 'scatter,' suggesting scattering in many directions simultaneously.

Kelly Says

A bomb might 'scatter' debris, but it 'discatters' it—the 'dis-' prefix adds a sense of chaos and complete dispersal in all directions at once, giving the word theatrical energy.
