The separation or division of cells, particularly the division of the cytoplasm during cell division.
Greek 'kytos' (cell) and 'diaeresis' (division or separation). A technical term from cytology describing what happens when one cell physically divides into two.
This is a more precise scientific term for what we usually just call 'cytokinesis'—it emphasizes that it's specifically about the cytoplasm getting pulled apart, not just the nucleus splitting.
