How do you divide the word marry?

You can't really "divide" the word "marry" in the way you might divide a word like "butterfly" into "butter" and "fly".

However, there are some ways to break down the word:

* Etymology: The word "marry" comes from the Old French word "marier," which means "to husband." So, in a sense, you could say it's made up of the idea of "husband" + "ing."

* Syllabification: The word "marry" has one syllable. It can't be divided into smaller parts in terms of how we pronounce it.

* Parts of speech: "Marry" is a verb. It's the action of getting married.

Do you have a specific reason for wanting to divide the word? Perhaps I can help you in a different way!
