sectors

Parts of wholes

Sectors are divisions or portions of something larger.

A sector of a city is a distinct area; a sector of the economy is an industry or field: the private sector, the public sector, the tech sector.

In geometry, a sector is a pie-slice shape bounded by two radii and an arc.

Military sectors are zones of operation or responsibility.

The word suggests organized division rather than random fragmentation.
