Etymology
'narrowly-divided' originates from the combination of 'narrowly,' meaning 'in a limited or restricted manner,' and 'divided,' meaning 'separated into parts.'
'Narrowly' comes from the Old English 'nearu,' meaning 'constricted,' and 'divided' from the Latin 'dividere,' meaning 'to separate.'
Initially, 'narrowly' meant 'in a constricted manner,' and 'divided' meant 'separated.' Together, they describe a situation where separation is minimal.
