Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of 'departmental' (from Old French 'departement', ultimately from Latin 'departire' meaning to divide or separate) and 'isolation' (from Italian 'isolato', meaning made into an island, from Latin 'insula'). The compound term emerged in late 20th-century organizational theory and corporate governance to describe organizational silos.
