Question

Keeping in mind that the Latin prefix dis- means “apart” and the root tribuere means “to give,” write your definition of distribute here.

Answer 1

Distribute (v.): to divide something into parts and give those parts out to several people or places; to spread or disperse items, resources, or information over a group or area. (From Latin dis- “apart” + tribuere “to give” — literally “to give apart.”)
