Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms

Dividere · Partiri · Dirimere · Dispertire · Distribuere

1. Dividere and dirimere mean to divide something, merely in order to break the unity of the whole, and separate it into parts, whereas partiri means to divide, in order to get the parts of the whole, and to be able to dispose of them. Hence the phrases divide et impera, and dividere sententias, but partiri prædam. 2. Divisio denotes, theoretically, the separation of a genus into its species, whereas partitio, the separation of the whole into its parts. Quintil. v. 10, 63. Cic. Top. 5. 3. Dividere refers to a whole, of which the parts are merely locally and mechanically joined, and therefore severs only an exterior connection; but dirimere refers to a whole, of which the parts organically cohere, and destroys an interior connection. Liv. xxii. 15. Casilinum urbs . . . Volturno flumine dirempta Falernum ac Campanum agrum dividit: for the separation of a city into two halves by a river, is an interior separation, whereas the separation of two neighboring districts by a city, is an exterior separation. 4. Dividere means also to separate into parts, without any accessory notion, whereas dispertire, with reference to future possessors, and distribuere, with reference to the right owners, or to proper and suitable places. (iv. 156.)

Phrases from Meissner's Latin Phrase-Book

spinae partiendi et definiendi (Tusc. 5. 8. 22)
minute, captious subdivisions and definitions.
genus universum in species certas partiri et dividere (Or. 33. 117)
to analyse a general division into its specific parts.

partĭo, ĭi or īvi, ītum, 4, v. a., and partĭor, partītus (
I. inf. dep. partirier, Aus. Epigr. 139, 8), 4, v. dep. pars, to share, part; to divide, distribute (Cic., Cæs., and Quint. use the verb. finit. almost exclusively in the dep. form; v. infra; but the part. perf. was employed by them also in a pass. sense; syn.: communico, participo).
I. Lit.
(a). Form partĭo, īre: tu partem laudis caperes, tu gaudia mecum Partisses, Lucil. ap. Non. 475, 23: aeternabilem divitiam partissent, Att. ib. 475, 24: praedam, Plaut. As. 2, 2, 5: bona sua inter aliquos, id. Mil. 3, 1, 113: bona testamento, Afran. ap. Non. 475, 21: (sol) aetheris oras Partit, Lucr. 5, 684: consules designati provincias inter se partiverant, Sall. J. 43, 1; Cic. Leg 3, 3, 7: regnum Vangio ac Sido inter se partivere, Tac. A. 12, 30.—Pass.: pes enim, qui adhibetur ad numeros, partitur in tria, ut necesse sit partem pedis aequalem esse, etc., Cic. Or. 56, 188.—
(b). Form partĭor, ītus, īri: genus universum in species certas partietur ac dividet, Cic. Or. 33, 117; id. Rosc. Com. 17, 53: id ipsum in ea, quae decuit membra partitus est, id. Univ. 7: pupillis bona erepta cum eo partitus est, Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 17, § 37: suum cum Scipione honorem partitur, Caes. B. C. 3, 82: id opus inter se Petreius atque Afranius partiuntur, id. ib. 1, 73 fin.; cf. id. ib. 1, 38, and Cic. Phil. 14, 6, 15: (praedam) socios partitur in omnes, Verg. A. 1, 194: partiri limite campum, id. G. 1, 126: tecum lucellum, Hor. S. 2, 5, 82: lintres, id. Ep. 1, 18, 61: qui numquam partitur amicum, solus habet. Juv. 3, 121.—
(g). In a dub. form: dulcemque in ambos caritatem partiens, Phaedr. 3, 8, 13; so, pensa inter virgines partientem, Just. 1, 3, 2.—The forms partiturus, Caes. B. C. 1, 4, 3, and partiendum, Cic. Fin. 1, 7, 22, are to be attributed, on account of the other examples of this word in Cic. and Cæs. (v. supra), to partior.—
(d). Part. perf.: partītus, a, um, in pass. signif., shared, parted, divided, distributed: (animi natura) partita per artus, Lucr. 3, 710: divisio in sex partita, Varr. R. R. 1, 37, 4: membra partita ac distributa, Cic. de Or. 3, 30, 119: Caesar partitis copiis cum C. Fabio legato, Caes. B. G. 6, 6; cf.: partito exercitu, id. ib. 6, 33; 7, 24, 5: regionibus partitum imperium, Liv. 27, 7; Ov. A. A. 3, 593: carcere partitos equos, parted, separated by the barriers, id. F. 4, 680.—Hence, partītō, adverb. abl., distributively: dividere, Reg. tit. 24, 25.—
II. Transf. *
A. To cause to share or participate in any thing = participare: eandem me in suspitionem sceleris partivit pater, Enn. ap. Non. 475, 25 (Trag. v. 368 Vahl.).—*
B. Inter se, to agree among themselves: vos inter vos partite, Plaut. Am. 4, 4 (5), 1.—Hence, * adv.: partītē, with proper divisions, methodically: dicere, Cic. Or. 28, 99.
