- 1造成對立的、撕裂的
A divisive thing splits people into camps. A divisive law, joke, leader, or post does not just cause a small argument; it makes two sides that struggle to like each other afterwards. Newspapers love the word. Though actually, people sometimes stretch it: they call anything they dislike “divisive,” even when the room is only . The core picture is a cut down the middle of a group. It is about the effect on people, not about company departments (that would be ).
core核心畫面
組成Borrowed from Latin dīvīsīvus — “tending to split.” Same divide family, but this one is about people, not numbers.
