Usage Note
Répandu is the past participle of répandre ('to spread') used as an adjective. It describes something widely diffused — a practice, belief, or technology. Its counterpart peu répandu means 'uncommon' or 'niche'. The feminine form is répandue, and it can also describe a spilled liquid in a more literal sense.
