The word "boundary" traces back to Middle English "boundarie," which originates from Old French "bondarie," and is related to the Latin "ponte" (to place, establish). The term "slit" comes from the Old English "slitan," meaning to split or tear apart. Together, the terms emphasize a division or separation.
