compartments
Divided storage areas
Compartments are separate sections or divisions within a larger space.
A refrigerator has compartments for different foods; a train has compartments for passengers.
The word extends to mental divisions: She kept her work life and home life in separate compartments.
To compartmentalize is to divide things this way, often to manage conflicting information or emotions.
