Historically, the British cavalry use an axe with a large spike at its end to dispatch a sick or injured horse. When the gun was invented owners would use it to end the life of a loved animal instead of leaving the horse to suffer for a long time.

Is the word spelled Despatch or dispatch?

As a verb, it means to send out - like "I dispatched my friends to hold a place in line while I parked." or "I always dispatch someone to put in our name in a restaurant as soon as we get there." As a noun, it means an outgoing communication - like "The king sent a dispatch to his generals." As an adjective (I think), it can also mean quickly - "He completed the task with great dispatch."
