multipiece

Made of parts

Multipiece describes something composed of multiple separate parts or sections that function together as a unit.

The term appears most often in product descriptions and technical contexts: a multipiece fishing rod breaks down for transport, while a multipiece wheel has a rim assembled from distinct components.

It contrasts with one-piece or solid construction, typically implying either easier storage and shipping or customizable assembly.
