Etymology
'distinctly-partitioned' originates from the combination of 'distinctly' and 'partitioned'. 'Distinctly' comes from Latin 'distinctus', meaning 'separated', and 'partitioned' comes from Latin 'partitio', meaning 'division'.
'distinctly' evolved from the Latin 'distinctus' through Old French 'distinct', and 'partitioned' evolved from Latin 'partitio' through Old French 'particion'.
Initially, 'distinctly' meant 'separated clearly', and 'partitioned' meant 'divided into parts'. The combined term retains these meanings.
