approximately-divided
|ap-prox-i-mate-ly-di-vid-ed|
/əˈprɒksɪmətli dɪˈvaɪdɪd/
roughly separated
Etymology
'approximately-divided' originates from the combination of 'approximately' and 'divided', where 'approximately' comes from Latin 'approximatus', meaning 'near', and 'divided' from Latin 'dividere', meaning 'to separate'.
'approximately' changed from the Latin word 'approximatus' and 'divided' from 'dividere', eventually forming the modern English compound word 'approximately-divided'.
Initially, 'approximately' meant 'near' and 'divided' meant 'to separate', but over time, the compound word evolved to mean 'roughly separated'.
