I like the german word for broadcast: rundfunk or literally "spray around"

[–] elvith 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not really. It's a composite word consisting of the word "rund" (round, circular) and "Funk" (wireless, radio). So basically it just means circular radio [waves] or [sending/emitting] radio [waves] in all directions.

Which is quite literally what a Radio or TV broadcast does.
