+ ==Etymology==
+ It is an old accusative singular of [[m|la|pars|t=part]], used as an adverb; the usual accusative is ⟨partem⟩.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Schrijver explains [[m|la|pars]] as a pre-Latin formation [[itc-pro|*parti-]] from the stem of [[m|la|pariō|t=to bring forth]], first “lot, portion”.^(de Vaan 2008)
+ 
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Köbler dates it from Livius Andronicus.^(Köbler 2010) Plautus has ''quod partim faciunt argentāriī'', “as some bankers do”, and Cato ''ulmōs sēritō et partim pōpulōs'', “plant elms, and some poplars”.^(OLD 2012)
+ 
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ ''Partim'' is “in part, some”, often standing for a subject or object, “some of them” (''sunt partim quī …'', “there are some who …”).^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) It is also “partly”, and repeated ''partim … partim'' is “partly … partly” (Terence: his heart was won ''partim'' by pity for his wife, ''partim'' by this woman's wrongs).^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Wiktionary adds pre-classical “for the most part” and Late Latin “sometimes”.^(Wiktionary)
