the only thing that grows when you cut it into smaller pieces.
means The act of giving others a portion of, or access to, something you have — whether food, space, ideas, or feelings.
from From Old English 'scearu,' meaning a cutting or division — the same root that gives us 'shear' and 'shore' (the cut edge where land meets sea). The word literally began as a portion sliced off, a share carved from a larger whole. Only later did the emphasis shift from the cutting to the giving, so that the same root which once meant 'to divide' came to mean 'to give a part to another.'
