Root Explanation

Compartmented → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "partire" (meaning to divide). The word describes something that is divided into sections or parts that are together within a larger whole.

Memory Tip

Think of things being 'together' ('com-') but also 'divided' ('partire') into sections — that's what compartmented means.
