Definition
分赃 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to divide the spoils' or 'split the loot' — typically used for criminals dividing illegally obtained money or goods. The two characters split when you insert a measure word, time duration, or object between them: 分了赃 (divided the spoils), 分过三次赃 (split the loot three times). It carries a strong negative connotation and is rarely used for legitimate profit-sharing.
