Etymology
'asymmetrically-partitioned' originates from the combination of 'asymmetrical' and 'partitioned', where 'asymmetrical' comes from Greek 'asymmetros', meaning 'not proportionate', and 'partitioned' from Latin 'partitio', meaning 'division'.
'asymmetrically-partitioned' evolved from the combination of 'asymmetrical' and 'partitioned', which were used separately in English before being combined to describe uneven divisions.
Initially, 'asymmetrical' meant 'not proportionate', and 'partitioned' meant 'divided'. Together, they describe a division that is not equal or balanced.
