"Anna Andrews is the 'she' in the story…. As an adult, Anna's private life is in tatters, but at least she has a prestigious job as a BBC news anchor. In the space of 48 hours, even that's torn asunder." — Carole E. Barrowman, The Star Tribune (Minneapolis, Minnesota), 31 May 2020

Asunder can be traced back to the Old English word sundor, meaning "apart." It is a relative of the verb sunder, which means "to break apart" or "to become parted, disunited, or severed." The "into parts" sense of asunder is often used in the phrase "tear asunder," which can be used both literally and figuratively (as in "a family torn asunder by tragedy"). The "apart from each other" sense can be found in the phrase "poles asunder," used to describe two things that are as vastly far apart as the poles of the Earth.

Asunder可以追溯到古英语单词sundor，意思是“分开”。它是动词sunder的近亲，意为“to break apart「分裂」”或“to become parted, disunited, or severed「分裂，分裂或割裂」”。 “into parts「分成几部分」”asunder的短语最常用“tear asunder「散开，撕裂」”一词中，它既用于口头字面上也可用在比喻中（例如在“a family torn asunder by tragedy「因悲剧而破裂的家庭”」）。 “apart from each other「彼此分开」”的含义可以在短语“poles asunder「远隔万里千山」”中找到，该词是用来形容与地球两极相距甚远的事物。
