Rozdelenie

Rozdelenie is a term used in several Slavic languages, notably Slovak and Czech, with a similar form in Polish, to denote the act or result of dividing or separating a whole into parts. The word comes from a common Slavic root meaning to divide, with prefixes or inflections that express completion, distribution, or partition. Spelling and exact usage vary by language: rozdelenie (Slovak), rozdělení (Czech), rozdzielenie (Polish).

In mathematics and related fields, rozdelenie refers to partitioning a set into non-overlapping blocks or to dividing a quantity into parts. In computing and data management, it can describe partitioning data into subsets for processing or storage. In science and everyday language, the term covers the separation of mixtures into components (as in chemistry) or biological cell division, where a cell divides to form daughter cells. In geography and politics, rozdelenie can describe the administrative or territorial division of a country, region, or organization, or broader notions such as the separation of powers within a state.

The term has cognates across Slavic languages and shares a common root with related words meaning to divide or distribute. Its exact meaning is context-dependent, ranging from precise technical definitions in mathematics and computer science to more general notions of splitting, separating, or allocating parts in law, administration, or natural sciences.
