Dividers

/dɪˈvaɪdərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of divider; multiple things that separate or divide, including the geometric tool with two pointed legs.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'divider,' formed by adding '-s' to the singular form. The term became standard in English for both the mathematical tool and architectural/organizational separators.

Kelly Says

Dividers (the geometry tool) are one of humanity's oldest precision instruments—ancient Babylonians and Greeks used them thousands of years ago, making them as fundamental to mathematics as the wheel is to transportation.
