'oddly-separated' originates from the combination of 'oddly,' meaning 'in a strange or unusual way,' and 'separated,' meaning 'divided or set apart.'

'Oddly' comes from the Old Norse word 'oddi,' meaning 'point or triangle,' and 'separated' comes from the Latin word 'separatus,' meaning 'to divide or set apart.'

Initially, 'oddly' meant 'in a peculiar manner,' and 'separated' meant 'divided.' Together, they describe something divided in an unusual way.
