There is another verb edere meaning "to eat."
Is edare = "publish" an alternate spelling?
There are other verbs for "publish." I was thinking there was something idiomatic.

There is another verb edere meaning "to eat."
Yes—but with a book as object, there isn't much risk of confusion between the two verbs.
Is edare = "publish" an alternate spelling?
No. Edare doesn't exist (well, not as an infinitive; it could be the second person singular present passive subjunctive form). Why?

WORDS has both spellings. It sounds like edare is a typo.
 
Can anyone advise if there are any reasons to lean towards one over the other? Or what the nuances are between the two options?

To write a book. To publish a book.

Librum scribere. Librum edere.
Librum scribere. Librum publicare.
