Τέμνω (temno) in Greek means 'I cut', the noun is Τομή (tomi). Δυο (dio) means 'two' and when combined it becomes Διχο-(dicho). The combined word came into English from Latin and referred to the philosophical and political division theory of: cutting in two different classes. Since then, it's been more frequently used in every day language, meaning, simply, 'a division'. ΔΙΧΟΤΟΜΗΣΗ/DICHOTOMY
