The act of dividing or partitioning; the process of separating into parts or divisions.
From de- + partition (from Latin partitio, meaning division). Somewhat archaic or literary term meaning division or apportionment of something.
Departition is a genuinely obscure word that captures the *process* of dividing—while partition is the result, departition emphasizes the action of breaking things apart, giving us a word for the energy and chaos of reorganization.
