departmentalize

/dɪˌpɑɹtˈmɛnəˌɫaɪz/, /dɪˌpɑɹtˈmɛntəˌɫaɪz/ verb

To organize something into departments

Word Origin 'Departmentalize' means to divide into departments. It's built on 'department', which comes from French 'département', literally 'a parting away'—dividing an organization into separate parts. The root 'part' from Latin 'partire' (to divide) gives us 'partition', 'apartment' (a separated space), and 'compartment'. The breakdown de+part+ment+al+ize shows the division root with multiple suffixes.
