Copartiment

/koʊˈpɑːrtɪmənt/ noun

Definition

A shared compartment or division; a separate section of something that is owned or used jointly.

Etymology

From co- + partiment (from partition, Latin partitio, a division). This term combines the prefix of sharing with the noun of division.

Kelly Says

Copartiment is rare now, but it appears in 16th-century architectural and property documents describing shared spaces in buildings—it's a word that lost out to the simpler term 'shared space.'
