divisional
UK: dɪˈvɪʒənl | US: dɪˈvɪʒənl
adj. relating to or involving division, especially of an organization or group
adj. (Mathematics) pertaining to division as an operation
The word "divisional" stems from the noun "division," which entered English in the late 14th century from Old French division (a splitting or separating). The Old French term derived from Latin divisio (a dividing), from the verb dividere (to separate). The suffix -al (of the kind of) was added in the 15th century to form the adjective, indicating a relational quality. The morpheme division preserves its core meaning of separation, while -al standardly converts nouns into adjectives in English (e.g., "emotional," "national").
