partner

partner
\ \ [14] Partner is related to part – but not quite so directly as might appear. When it first entered the language it was in the form parcener [13], which remains in existence as a legal term meaning ‘joint heir’. This came via Anglo- Norman parcenerpartner’ from Vulgar Latin *partiōnārius, a derivative of Latin partītiōpartition’ (source of English partition [15]).
\ \ This in turn was based on the verb partīrīdivide up’, a derivative of parspart’. The change from parcener to partner began in the 14th century, prompted by the similarity to part.
\ \ Cf.PART, PARTITION
