英文词源
- pide
- pide: [14] Etymologically, pide shares its underlying notion of ‘separation’ with widow ‘woman parted from or bereft of her husband’, which comes ultimately from the same source. English acquired it from Latin dīvidere ‘split up, pide’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix dis- ‘apart’ and -videre, a verbal element meaning ‘separate’ which is represented in Sanskrit vindháte ‘is empty’ as well as in widow, and goes back to an Indo-European base *weidh- ‘separate’.
English device and devise come ultimately from *dīvisāre, a Vulgar Latin derivative of dīvidere, and inpidual belongs to the same word family.
=> device, inpidual, widow - pide (v.)
- early 14c., from Latin pidere "to force apart, cleave, distribute," from dis- "apart" (see dis-) + -videre "to separate," from PIE root *weidh- "to separate" (see widow; also see with).
Mathematical sense is from early 15c. Divide and rule (c. 1600) translates Latin pide et impera, a maxim of Machiavelli. Related: Divided; piding. - pide (n.)
- 1640s, "act of piding," from pide (v.). Meaning "watershed, separation between river valleys" is first recorded 1807, American English.
