distinctly partitioned
Etymology
'separately-divided' originates from the combination of 'separate' and 'divide', where 'separate' comes from Latin 'separatus', meaning 'to set apart', and 'divide' from Latin 'dividere', meaning 'to force apart'.
'separatus' and 'dividere' transformed into the Old French words 'separer' and 'diviser', eventually becoming the modern English words 'separate' and 'divide'.
Initially, 'separate' meant 'to set apart', and 'divide' meant 'to force apart'. The combined term 'separately-divided' emphasizes the distinct consideration of each part.
