Morphology

cross-division = cross + division (transparent) = cross + division

The meaning is a straightforward combination of 'cross' (across/between) + 'division' (category), so learners can derive it from the parts.

Etymology

The word cross-division comes from cross ('across' or 'between') and division ('a separation' or 'a way to group things'). So a cross-division is when you divide items by more than one feature at the same time, like sorting products by both category and price, and you can remember it from the math idea 'division' and cross as in crosswalk.
