Separated into parts; having differing opinions or being in disagreement.
From Latin 'dividere' meaning 'to separate, distribute', from 'dis-' (apart) and root related to 'vidua' (widow, separated). The mathematical sense developed alongside the social and physical meanings.
The word 'divided' shares its root with 'individual' - both come from Latin concepts of separation. This etymological irony shows how being 'undivided' (individual) actually means being a single, separate unit, revealing the paradox of identity and unity.
