Root Explanation

Partitioned → It is formed from "part" (from Latin "partire", meaning to divide) and "-ition" (a suffix indicating the action or process of). The word "partitioned" means the action of dividing something into parts or sections.

Memory Tip

Think of 'part' meaning to divide something, and '-ition' indicating the action of doing so — that's why partitioned means something has been divided into sections.
