Fractioned

/ˈfrækʃənd/ adjective, verb (past tense)

Definition

divided or separated into fractions; having been broken into parts or components.

Etymology

From fraction (noun) + -ed (past tense/adjectival suffix). This is a less common variant formation than fractionated, treating 'fraction' directly as a verb.

Kelly Says

This word is rare because fractionate is the preferred scientific verb, but you'll find 'fractioned' in older texts or specialized disciplines like analytical chemistry where it carries specific technical meaning.
