splitten

1. to divide, to break up

• Afrikaans: split
• Negerhollands: split

Borrowed from English split, itself from Middle Dutch and/or Middle Low German splitten, an intensive form related to German spleißen. The borrowed word may have been reinforced or merged with modern Low German splitten, from the same source. Compare German Splitt (“grit, stone chips”) and Splitter (“splinter”), which are both directly from Middle Low German.
