[General] Can The word ''panspermia'' be used with the greek metaphorical meaning ?

[Mike1990]

For example, in Greek we say : A panspermia of ideas or A panspermia of people.

But in English this word is used only for the Panspermia Theory.

If I write or say this word with the greek metaphorical meaning, like the examples, you will understand me ?

A panspermia of people = A variety of people

Many people would be unfamiliar with the word in Panspermia Theory. If a newspaper used the term, it might also add a definition to help those who don't know the word.
