dividing wall
Interior boundary structure
A dividing wall is a wall that separates one space from another—between rooms, between properties, or between areas serving different purposes.
The term emphasizes the wall's function of partition rather than its structural role: A dividing wall separated the kitchen from the dining area.
Figuratively, a dividing wall is any barrier between groups or ideas: The policy created a dividing wall between management and staff.
