sectional
Sofa in pieces
Sectional describes something divided into sections or relating to a particular section rather than the whole: sectional interests, a sectional view of the building.
In American usage, a sectional is a modular sofa whose pieces can be rearranged: We bought a sectional for the living room.
Sectional conflicts pit regions or groups against each other, as in debates over sectional politics before the Civil War.
