    Etymologies

From the Latin /diremptus/ ("separated”, “divided"), the past participle
of /dirimō/ ("I separate”, “I divide"), formed
as /dir-/ (/prevocalic/ variant of /dis-/ ("apart”, “asunder"))
+ /emō/ ("I take"); compare /dirempt²/. (Wiktionary)
From the Latin dirempt-, the past participial stem of dirimō. /Prima
facie/, the derivation of the verb appears identical with that of the
adjective; however, whilst closely related, each carries a subtly
different /semantic/ force — the verb takes merely the form of the Latin
participle, whereas the adjective takes its meaning as well. (Wiktionary)
