bisecting
Dividing in two
Bisecting means cutting or dividing something into two equal parts.
In geometry, a line bisects an angle or segment when it splits it exactly in half: The perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint.
More loosely, bisecting describes anything that cuts through the middle: A river bisects the town.
