dividir
/dibiˈdiɾ/ · B1 · verb
to divide
🍕🔪 dividir = English divide; divvy up a pizza and you dividir it
From Latin dividere, to force apart, the same root as English divide and dividend. Divvy up is short for dividend, so the slang still has the same root. Spanish says the b sound for v here: di-bi-DEER.
