The act of scattering or dispersing things; a state of being scattered or thrown apart.
From Latin disiectio, from disicere. The -tion suffix converts the verb disject into a noun describing the action or state.
The suffix -tion is one of English's most powerful noun-making tools, especially for words borrowed from Latin—it transforms the action of throwing apart into an abstract concept we can discuss as a thing itself.
