Etymology
'proportionately-separated' originates from the Latin word 'proportio,' meaning 'relation of parts,' and the Old French word 'separare,' meaning 'to divide.'
The term 'proportionately-separated' evolved from the combination of 'proportionate' and 'separate,' which were used in Middle English to describe balanced division.
Initially, it meant 'to divide in equal parts,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'divided in a specific ratio.'
