Crossword Genius

Circulate margarine, say (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spread

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'circulate' is the first definition.
(spreading is a kind of circulating)

'margarine say' is the second definition.
(margarine is a kind of spread)

(Other definitions for spread that I've seen before include "Broaden - drapes (anag)" , "Scatter or distribute more thinly" , "Diffuse" , "Distribute or disperse widely" , "Rancher's property - sumptuous meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
