Etymology

From the passive form of membahagi-bahagikan, from di- +‎ bahagi-bahagi +‎ -kan. The root is the reduplication of bahagi.

Pronunciation

  • Hyphenation: di‧ba‧ha‧gi‧-‧ba‧ha‧gi‧kan

Verb

dibahagi-bahagikan

  1. to be divided up and distributed; to be apportioned or partitioned out (especially to multiple recipients or into many parts).

Usage notes

  • The reduplication of the root word `bahagi` adds a sense of thoroughness, repetition, or distribution to multiple recipients, which is stronger and more specific than the non-reduplicated forms dibahagi or dibahagikan.
