|un-con-ven-tion-al-ly-di-vid-ed|
/ˌʌnkənˈvɛnʃənəli-dɪˈvaɪdɪd/
non-standard separation
Etymology
'unconventionally-divided' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'conventionally,' which comes from 'convention,' and 'divided,' from the Latin 'dividere,' meaning 'to separate.'
'unconventionally' evolved from 'convention' with the prefix 'un-' added to denote the opposite, and 'divided' from the Latin 'dividere,' eventually forming the modern English term 'unconventionally-divided.'
Initially, 'divided' meant 'to separate into parts,' and 'unconventionally' meant 'not according to convention.' Together, they describe a separation that defies standard norms.
