disperse

Etymology
From, from , past participle of , from + ; see sparse.

Verb

 * 1)  To scatter in different directions.

Usage notes

 * Do not confuse with the monetary word, despite the two being near homophones and having a degree of semantic similarity (in which disbursed money may be dispersed among expenses). A mnemonic to help make the difference obvious (which uses a cognate of each word) is that dĭs-burs-ing is taking money out of the purse, whereas dĭ-spers-ing causes something to be sparsely scattered.

drown

Etymology
From, , , of obscure and origin.

The OED suggests an unattested Old English form. Harper 2001 points to Old English, (> 🇨🇬, ), "probably influenced" by 🇨🇬 (cf. 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). Funk & Wagnall's has 'of uncertain origin'. It has been theorised (see e.g. ODS) that it may represent a direct loan of 🇨🇬, but this is described by the OED as being "on phonetic and other grounds [...] highly improbable", unless one considers the possibility of an unattested variant in 🇨🇬.
