Etymology
'firmly-partitioned' originates from the combination of 'firmly' and 'partitioned', where 'firmly' is derived from the Old English 'fyrm' meaning 'strong' and 'partitioned' from the Latin 'partitio' meaning 'division'.
'firmly' changed from the Old English word 'fyrm' and 'partitioned' evolved from the Latin 'partitio', eventually becoming the modern English word 'firmly-partitioned'.
Initially, 'firmly' meant 'strong' and 'partitioned' meant 'division', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'securely divided'.
