+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''condividere''' (first-person singular present condivìdo, first-person singular past historic condivìsi, past participle condivìso, auxiliary avére)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|it|con-|dividere|t2=to divide]].^(DELI 1999)^(Nocentini 2010)^(GRADIT 2003)^(Wiktionary) DEI calls it a learned word.^(DEI|1051) The Italian Wiktionary explains the base as [[la|cum|t=with]] and [[m|la|dīvidō|t=to divide]].^(Wikizionario)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The first record is in Girolamo da Siena's ''Adiutorio'', written before 1420, where graces are ''condivise e distribuite'', “shared out and distributed”, among others.^(DELI 1999)^(TLIO)^(GDLI) The sense is to divide something together with other people.^(TLIO)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The word long remained rare: DEI dated it only to the 19th century.^(DEI|1051) Tommaseo defined it as dividing among several people and complained that it was overused in the figurative sense of French ''partager''.^(Tommaseo–Bellini 1861) That figurative sense, having ideas or feelings in common with others, is first recorded in Panzini in 1920, and in the 20th century Pirandello and Pavese wrote of sharing another's indignation or another's pains.^(DELI 1999)^(GDLI)

+

+ With computing and the social networks of the 2000s and 2010s came the sense of making content such as links, photos or files available to others online.^(Wikizionario)^(Devoto–Oli 2026)^(Sabatini–Coletti 2026) The concrete sense of dividing something with others is now less common than “to have in common” and “to agree with”.^(Devoto–Oli 2026)^(Zingarelli 2010)
