Wonderful Word Wednesday: Schism




It's Wonderful Word Wednesday again! Do you as a writer ever struggle finding that perfect word to describe something or you want to shake your writing up with some new words? Each Wednesday I post hand-picked descriptive words for writers and other vocabulary nerds out there. ;) 

Schism
noun
1.) division or disunion, especially into mutually opposed parties.
2.) the parties so formed.
3.) Ecclesiastical.
a formal division within, or separation from, a church or religious body over some doctrinal difference.
the state of a sect or body formed by such division.
the offense of causing or seeking to cause such a division.

Example Sentence: The grens of the Dome Web believe there is a schism between the race of humans and that of Subsapiens, meaning that their treatment of the latter race is justified.

Two Subsapiens: Bryce (left) and Emil (right)

Have you seen or used this word before? What do you think of it?
