Partit

Partit is a noun found in Catalan and other Romance-language contexts. In Catalan, it most commonly refers to a political party (partit polític) or to a sports contest, such as a football or tennis match (un partit). The word is also used in more formal or historical settings to denote a division, portion, or share of a whole, though everyday usage often favors more specific terms when describing portions.

The sense of partit is highly dependent on context. When used for social groups, it denotes organized political associations competing for public support. In sports discourse, it names the event or game itself, for example describing the outcome of a matchup. In more formal language, the term can appear in phrases that discuss parts of a larger whole, partitions, or allocations, though this is less common in everyday speech.

Etymology and cognates: partit comes from the Latin partitio, meaning division or partition. It has cognates in other Romance languages, such as Spanish partido (party or match) and partition, French parti and partition, and Italian partito and partitzione. These forms share the same root and reflect related concepts of grouping, division, or association across languages.
