divide

Ngoại động từNội động từ
Số nhiều: dividesQuá khứ: dividedPhân từ 2: dividedV-ing: dividing

This word conveys a sense of fragmentation and boundary creation. It often implies a clean break or a calculated distribution, whether the separation is physical, mathematical, or social. When used in a social or political sense, it carries a heavy negative weight, suggesting a loss of unity and the emergence of conflict. While similar to separate, divide usually emphasizes the resulting parts or the ratio of the split. It suggests a systematic process of partitioning rather than a random or accidental detachment.
