Intersperse derives from Latin
interspersus, formed by combining the familiar prefix
inter- ("between or among") with
sparsus, the past participle of
spargere, meaning "to scatter." In
sparsus one finds an ancestor to our adjective
sparse, as well as a relative of
spark. (The relationship of
spark
to a word that describes something being scattered about makes sense
when you think of sparks bursting or scattering off a flame.)
Intersperse is often followed by the preposition
with,
as in "a straggling street of comfortable white and red houses,
interspersed with abundant shady trees" (from H. G. Wells' 1898 novel,
The War of the Worlds).
