Short for dividend; a payment made by a corporation to shareholders, especially in British English and older usage.
Shortened form of 'dividend,' from Latin 'dividendum' (thing to be divided), from 'dividere' (to divide). Used as informal abbreviation in British financial language.
In older British financial districts, you'd hear traders eagerly discussing 'the divi'—it's an affectionate shorthand that shows how intimate successful investors felt about their profits, almost like a friend's nickname.
