Etymology
'effectively-divided' originates from the combination of 'effectively' and 'divided', where 'effectively' comes from Latin 'effectivus', meaning 'creative, effective', and 'divided' comes from Latin 'dividere', meaning 'to separate'.
'Effectively' evolved from the Latin 'effectivus' through Old French 'effectif', and 'divided' evolved from Latin 'dividere' through Old French 'diviser'.
Initially, 'effectively' meant 'capable of producing a result', and 'divided' meant 'separated into parts'. Together, they convey the idea of being separated in a way that achieves a purpose.
