división

/dibiˈsjon/ · B1 · noun · f

part

✂️ Same word as English division; -ión = -ion, and the v sounds like a soft b

From Latin divisio, from dividere, to separate. Most English -sion words become Spanish -sión with the stress on the end: di-bi-SYON. It is feminine, like nearly all -ión nouns: la división.
