Compartmentalized

/ˌkɒmpɑːrtˈmɛntəlaɪzd/ adjective

Definition

Separated or organized into isolated, independent sections or categories; kept distinct from other things.

Etymology

From 'compartment' + '-alize' (suffix meaning to make or treat as) + '-ed' (past tense). The suffix chain creates the meaning 'made into compartments.' This word entered common usage in the 20th century.

Kelly Says

Submarines literally have compartmentalized hulls so that if one section floods, the whole ship doesn't sink—so when psychologists use the term metaphorically, they're describing a safety mechanism that backfires emotionally.
