A section is one part of something that has been divided, such as a piece of a book, a building, or a group.
From Latin “sectio” meaning “a cutting,” from “secare” meaning “to cut.” The word has always carried the sense of something cut off from a whole.
When you “section” a text or a city, you’re mentally slicing it into more manageable pieces. It’s a reminder that complexity often becomes understandable only after we cut it into sections.
