Why this meaning was chosen

Form V divides people or cracks a mountain, and صَدْع names the earth's fissuring. The imperative at 15:94 instead directs an unreserved public proclamation, while passive Form II at 56:19 describes a bodily affliction caused by drink; neither single context supplies a Quran-internal bridge to literal splitting, so both are isolated as lexical collisions.
