'exceptionally-divided' originates from the combination of 'exceptional' and 'divided', where 'exceptional' comes from Latin 'excipere', meaning 'to take out', and 'divided' from Latin 'dividere', meaning 'to separate'.

'exceptional' changed from the Latin word 'excipere' to the Old French 'excepcion', and eventually became the modern English word 'exceptional'. 'Divided' transformed from the Latin 'dividere' to the Old French 'diviser', and eventually became the modern English word 'divided'.

Initially, 'exceptional' meant 'to take out', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'unusual or remarkable'. 'Divided' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to separate'.
