bisections
Cuts into halves
Bisections are acts of cutting something into two equal parts.
The term appears most often in mathematics and geometry, where bisecting an angle or line segment means dividing it exactly in half: The bisections were performed with compass and straightedge.
More loosely, any division into two roughly equal portions.
