Verb edit

- to throw or drive asunder; scatter, disperse, break up, divide; dishevel; spread
- (military) to disperse, scatter or rout the enemy

Usage notes edit
In prosody, the first syllable is always long by position due to the unwritten /j/, thus disiciō can be found written as dīsiciō in some editions or manuals, which however doesn't signify the length of the vowel itself.
