- 1分裂；（教會的）裂教、宗派分裂
A schism is a deep split that turns one group into two, because people cannot agree on the group’s aims or on what they must believe. The word is used most of all about the Christian church, but people also stretch it to parties, clubs, and even groups of friends. After a schism you do not just have an argument; you have two groups, and each one may feel it is the true group. It is a serious, rather formal word. Though actually, English speakers do not agree how to say it. Older speakers and many church people say something like SIZ-um. Many people now say SHIZ-um because of the spelling. Some say SKIZ-um, as if it were a school-Greek word. All three are used.
組成From Middle English scisme, from Old French cisme or scisme, from Ancient Greek σχίσμα, “a division,” from σχίζω, “I split.” A rare technical twin from the same place is schisma.
