individual = indivisible?

ChatGPT:
Yes, you are correct. “Individual” and “indivisible” share a closer semantic relationship. Both terms convey the idea of something that cannot be divided or separated into smaller parts.

“Individual” typically refers to a single person or thing, emphasizing its distinctness or separateness from others. While it doesn’t inherently imply indivisibility, it often conveys the idea of a whole entity.

“Indivisible,” on the other hand, directly means not divisible or incapable of being divided. It emphasizes the inability to separate or break something into smaller parts.

In many contexts, “individual” and “indivisible” can be used interchangeably to convey the idea of something that cannot be divided. However, “individual” has broader usage and can refer to a single entity without necessarily implying indivisibility, whereas “indivisible” specifically emphasizes the inability to divide.
