spreading forces to reduce risk
spreading people or equipment out for safety
Padron ng paggamit:

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may overuse distribution; dispersal often implies reducing concentration to avoid damage or attack.
Mga kasingkahulugan
deployment (emphasizes positioning for action, not just spreading out)
|
redistribution (emphasizes moving from one arrangement to another)
Mga kasalungat
consolidation (bringing things together into fewer locations)
|
concentration (keeping forces or assets grouped)
Mga kolokasyon
aircraft dispersal

5
distributing something among many recipients
giving out something to many people or places
Padron ng paggamit:
the dispersal of [funds/payments/aid]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
For money, disbursement is often the more standard term in finance; dispersal is broader and can sound less precise.
Mga kasingkahulugan
distribution (more common and neutral for organized giving out)
|
allocation (emphasizes deciding how much each person or place gets)
Mga kasalungat
withholding (keeping something back instead of giving it out)
|
accumulation (building up in one place rather than spreading out)
Mga kolokasyon
dispersal of funds
|dispersal of payments
|dispersal of aid
|dispersal of grants
|the timely dispersal
|the slow dispersal
|dispersal mechanism
|dispersal process
|dispersal to households

|

Mga kasalungat
containment (preventing a substance from spreading)
|

Mga kolokasyon
