Switzerland to disseminate seat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chair

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seat' is the definition.
(I know that chair is a type of seat)

'switzerland to disseminate' is the wordplay.
'switzerland' becomes 'ch' (short for Confoederatio Helvetica, its Latin name).
'to disseminate' becomes 'air' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ch'+'air'='CHAIR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chair that I've seen before include "Something with legs" , "Lead" , "A committee's most important seat" , "Movable seat" , "Seat for one person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
