partite
Split into parts
Partite means divided into parts, almost always appearing with a prefix specifying how many: bipartite (two parts), tripartite (three parts), multipartite (many parts).
The word rarely stands alone in modern usage, functioning instead as a combining form in technical, legal, and scientific contexts: a tripartite agreement between the three nations.
