词组 disburse
释义 disburse
      The Oxford American Dictionary warns against confusion of disburse, which usually means "to pay out (money)" or "to distribute (property)," with disperse. Such confusion probably accounts for this:
      Cottontail rabbit management study indicates ... that stocked or marked rabbits disburse widely — Biological Abstracts, June 1954
      James J. Kilpatrick in his newspaper column (29 Sept. 1985) has also mentioned having found an instance in which demonstrators were "asked to disburse."
      The OED has a figurative sense of disburse defined as "To ... give out or away." It is marked obsolete with only 16th and 17th century citations. The next example may represent a revival of that sense, even though it could be seen as an error for the current dispense:
      Of course, the advice disbursed ... is semiliterate trash —Simon 1980
