Refers to a physical partition or divider placed inside a space, such as a room divider, shelf divider, or internal wall.
We remove the room partition to use the space more openly.
I put dividers in the drawer to organize it.
Standard spelling with okurigana; the form without okurigana (中仕切) is also used but less common.
Variant without okurigana, seen in some contexts.
Compound of 中 (naka, 'inside') and 仕切り (shikiri, 'partition'), from the verb 仕切る (shikiru, 'to partition').
