splitter
Tool for halving
A splitter divides something into parts.
In sports, a splitter is a pitch that drops sharply as it reaches the plate, splitting the difference between a fastball and a breaking ball.
More broadly, any device or tool that separates: a log splitter, a signal splitter.
A person who makes fine distinctions is a splitter, opposed to a lumper who groups things together: taxonomic splitters versus lumpers.
