Etymology

Etymology Information

'redivide' originates from Latin elements: the prefix 're-' (from Latin 're-') meaning 'again' and the verb 'dividere' meaning 'to divide/separate'.

Historical Evolution

'dividere' in Latin developed into Middle English 'divide' (via Old French 'diviser'/'dividere'), and the modern English verb 'redivide' was formed by adding the prefix 're-' to 'divide'.

Meaning Changes

Initially the root meant 'to separate or force apart' in Latin; over time combined with the prefix 're-' it came to mean specifically 'to divide again' in modern English.
