Meaning
分批 means to do something in separate batches or groups rather than all at once. It combines 分 (to divide) and 批 (batch/group), and is commonly used in logistics, manufacturing, administrative contexts, and any situation where things need to be processed or handled in stages.
Usage
Native speakers use 分批 when describing phased or staggered operations, such as shipping goods, admitting students, or processing applications. It often appears with verbs like 进行 (to carry out), 处理 (to handle), or 发送 (to send). The phrase emphasizes systematic division rather than random splitting.
Examples
- 01由于订单太多，我们需要分批发货。, .Because there are too many orders, we need to ship in batches.

The word combines the verb 分 (divide) with the noun 批 (batch), which originally referred to批评 or批示 (批 as 'to comment on') but evolved to mean groups or batches of items. The compound naturally conveys the action of dividing into batches.
