Definition
To divide into separate sections or compartments; to separate or portion out.
Etymology
From Old French 'compart', derived from Latin 'compartiri' (com- meaning 'together' plus 'partiri' meaning 'to divide'). The word evolved from the idea of dividing something into parts.
Kelly Says
Medieval architects used this word when designing castles with separate chambers—the concept of dividing space for function became so useful it's still embedded in our word 'compartment.'
